Take on the Grossglockner with a ski-touring ascent for experienced off-piste skiers seeking a winter mountain challenge. This journey combines the adrenaline of skiing untouched snow with the accomplishment of reaching Austria's highest peak.
The adventure spans two days, where the serene yet demanding landscape of Grossglockner tests your skiing prowess and mountain skills.
Crossing the Pasterze glacier demands cautious navigation and expertise, particularly in winter. As the summit approach becomes more technical, skiers will find sections where skiing directly from the top isn't feasible due to steep, challenging terrain.
Instead, you and your guide will identify an optimal point for descent based on conditions and comfort level, ensuring a memorable ski back amidst the Eastern Alps' grandeur.
Guidance comes from IFMGA-certified guides, experienced in both ski-touring and high-altitude climbs, ensuring safety and enriching your mountain experience.
This ascent is only suitable for experienced off-piste skiers capable of ascending and descending steep mountain terrain on skis and crampons. We streamline your experience, covering essential logistics and gear needs (apart from ski boots) so you can focus on the adventure ahead.
Join us for an unparalleled ski-touring experience on the Grossglockner, where steep slopes and deep snow create the ultimate alpine skiing adventure.

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!
