Zugspitze Anniversary Ridge
One of the most beautiful ridge tours in the Alps
Up to the Zugspitze! The Jubiläumsgrat is one of the great classic ridge crossings in the Alps. The scenery is incredibly impressive, with breathtaking views and a panorama that is second to none. The surrounding mountain ranges are close enough to touch and the distant views from the Swiss Alps over the Central Alps and the wide Alpine foothills are unique. High above the Höllental valley, the exposed ridge climbing is quite challenging and the length of the tour should not be underestimated, but with the right experience, surefootedness and stamina, the Jubiläumsgrat near the Zugspitze on the rope of your mountain guide is an absolute delight. No wonder this tour enjoys an exceptional reputation among ambitious mountaineers.
We will gladly organize a certified mountain and ski guide for you at short notice. During the high season (June - September & January - March), however, a corresponding lead time should be calculated in order to be able to arrange the organization optimally. Even in the company of a private mountain guide, high alpine tours make special demands on the participants. We will discuss these with you in detail in advance and, if necessary, offer you a course from our range of preparatory courses.

"The Jubiläumsgrat is often wrongly described as a via ferrata. It certainly isn't. A large part of the route is exposed walking and easy climbing terrain, where I walk with my guests on a short rope.
The key sections are climbing passages in grade III and strenuous via ferrata sections. All in all, the tour takes a full day and is long, especially as the descent from the Alpspitze also requires full concentration."
