The Grossglockner, Austria’s crown jewel at 3798 meters, beckons mountain enthusiasts from around the world. This majestic peak, part of the Hohe Tauern range, is a must-do for any serious climber. Its distinctive bell-shaped silhouette is the inspiration behind its name.
In this trip I offer the Stuedlgrat ridge route, rated IV, slightly more technical and challenging than the normal route. It require sgood physical condition and previous mountaineering experience.
The southwest ridge, or Stuedlgrat, demands confidence and expertise with crampons. It's a beautiful ridge climb, and a great alternative to the much more frequented normal route. Climbing difficulty III+, but mostly I-II

Mountain Guide
Growing up in Salzburg's Lungau, Austria, my enthusiasm for the mountains has been rooted in me since childhood.
In winter, I passionately lead my guests on ski tours or show them the best runs while skiing off-piste. In later season I’m guiding in Norway (Lyngen/Senja). And another great passion is ice climbing on frozen waterfalls.
In summer I like to be out and about on rocks and ice in my local mountains but also abroad.
I look forward to go on tour together with you!

We climed the grossglockner with klaus, when we met him we had a connection becouse hé is a chill and nice dude. During the climb hé pushes you to the limit on a safe way. Hé knows exectly what hé does which give you a safe feeling for climbing a (dangerous) mountain.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
