The most impressive ridge traverse on the Großglockner with 11 peaks.
Who doesn't know the distinctive Hahnenkamm "behind" the Großglockner! And from afar, you wouldn't guess what awaits on the Glocknerwand traverse. A long and demanding tour with a Western Alps character, 11 peaks, several abseiling points, numerous smaller crags to climb over, and finally the highest point in Austria awaits us! Very good stamina and experience on rock ridges like the Stüdlgrat are prerequisites for the success of this tour. Additionally, you must be patient enough to wait for a stable day of good weather, as bad weather breaks or thunderstorm risks are a no-go for this tour.
