Description

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!

What people are saying about Klaus

Odelya

The guide was a great person, with wide knowledge and professional. We tried to reach the peak in one day during November and unfortunately we couldn’t. I suggest to start the climb at 4:00am to ensure reaching it before dark

Francois

We initialy planned to climb the grossvenediger but the weather conditions were not great. Klaus was very kean to find a good alternative for the group considering our technical level. We climbed the mosermandl and it was beautiful, the whole group loved it, view was amazing and challenge was also there. Klaus was very fun and engaging we definetly would recommend him to any group or friends !

Rick

Klaus was epic and challenged us to get out of our comfort zone. Due to really unfortunate circumstances we had to change guide last minute, which left us in the dark as to whether the trip would go ahead. Explore share did sort the issue but it felt like it took a lot of pestering and communication could have been better.

Klaus was an incredible guide. He knew exactly what he was doing. And he was great fun to talk to. I can only but recommend him! 5/5. Thanks for the great adventure Klaus!
