Embark on a journey to conquer Austria's highest peak, Grossglockner, where glaciers and granite form a path to the summit. This two-day guided climb is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and discover the allure of high-altitude mountaineering.
The climb to Austria's highest peak at 3,798 meters takes you from lush meadows to the Pasterze Glacier, the largest in the Eastern Alps.
Along the way, you'll pass by the Stüdlhütte and Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte, crucial stops for climbers. This journey offers a mix of technical challenges against a backdrop of ice, rock, and stunning alpine scenery.
Reaching the summit, you'll be rewarded with sweeping views of the Eastern Alps, including prominent peaks such as the Glocknerwand and the Kleinglockner, which flank the main summit, adding to the grandeur of the Grossglockner.
Our guided climb to Grossglockner pairs you with IFMGA-certified guides known for their route knowledge and safety skills. This climb is for those with some experience, as it includes glacier crossing and technical sections rated II on the UIAA scale.
We ensure your experience is smooth by taking care of the logistics, like booking your stay at the high-altitude huts and sorting out any needed transfers. We also offer equipment rental in case you don't own crampons, an ice ax, and a climbing harness.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


Our 3 day hike had to be rearranged 2/2 weather, so a one day hike was arranged for us. We appreciated the concern about weather and conditions. Our hike was with Matevz, who was a great guide. Very helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend and will be back for a longer hike one day!
