Description
Surrounded by the stunningly scenic Bavarian Alps and Königsee Lake, Watzmann towers above its surroundings.
With its 1.800 meter vertical limestone wall on its eastern face, or Berchtesgadener-weg, Watzmann is also a prize in the eye of serious scramblers and over the course of 2-days, we will summit part of the massif.
After meeting in Schönau am Königsee, we will make our way to St. Bartholomä by crossing Königsee Lake is a small tourist boat.
After disembarking, we will head to Ostwandlager, where we will spend the night.
The next morning, we wake up early and spend about an hour hiking toward the rock face. Once we have arrived at the base of this massive rock wall, we will spend the next seven hours scrambling, climbing and hiking the Berchtesgadener-weg until we reach the summit.
After taking some time to enjoy the view at the top, we will decide which route to descend down. Hiking back to Bartholomä will take about 3.5 hours.

Mountain Guide
Born in the Austrian Alps, the connection to the mountains was there from early on. Started skiing as a 3 year old kid, bit later climbing and mountaineering stepped in my live. Skiing and climbing all over the Alps and abroad became a huge part of my life.
One of my favorite places in the Alps are the mountains around Chamonix and Zermatt. Since graduating as a fully-certified Mountain guide, I’ve been able to share my passion for skiing and climbing with my guests. When I’m not guiding I try to push my personal limits in climbing and mountaineering. Looking forward reaching summits together.

Daniel is a phenomenal climbing guide. Our trip was a 1-day multipitch climb in the Hochkönig region. Daniel expresses a lifetime of experience in the region and is extremely knowledgeable about the routes and rock. Given it was our first multipitch/alpine/Austria experience, Daniel provided a safe and thorough climbing experience: reviewing gear, technique, and uniquely helpful beta. We could not have asked for a better day in the mountains and climbed on some of the coolest limestone features we have ever been on. Definitely a new high point for us. Daniel is extremely personable and made it readily known that he was there to help facilitate our adventure; whether its modifying plans or changing pace, Daniel was happy to accommodate. We are thankful for having him as a guide and for all of the additional info he provided to make our tour of the Salzburg area an awesome adventure. As others have noted, we highly recommend chatting with Daniel over WhatsApp, and he was extremely helpful in learning about the many climbing areas and options around Austria.

Daniel knows the Matterhorn like the back of his hand. If you want to get to the top as efficiently as possible he is your guy.
