Challenging 3-day Großglockner adventure of a special class.
During this tour, the entire Glockner Ridge is traversed in 3 stages. The combination of Kastengrat, Glocknerwand, and Leiterkamm represents a modern link-up of individual tours. One could also call this tour a 'life-time' goal, as only a few have completed the entire tour in one piece. By dividing it into 3 stages, each still demanding in its own right, this endeavor becomes achievable even for experienced and fit mountaineers. We are happy to advise you on preparation, planning, and execution. We highly recommend undertaking a joint preparatory tour with the respective mountain guide, at least the Stüdlgrat, to make a realistic assessment of feasibility. Additionally, stable high-pressure weather conditions are also mandatory for the safe success of the tour.
