For beginners and advanced climbers - no previous climbing or via ferrata experience is required

"Learned is learned. This is especially true for via ferrata techniques. On a day or week-long course, you will learn everything you need to know to climb via ferratas independently. And you won't forget it so quickly after the intensive training on the practice via ferrata. Many viae ferratae await you, which you can climb effectively and with a good feeling."

Day tour with Laura Dahlmeier,For fit mountaineers,Austria's highest peak towers over the surrounding valleys by more than 2,000 meters in altitude. Climbing the Grossglockner as a day tour from the valley is a huge challenge, but with Laura Dahlmeier as your mountain guide you have the perfect guide. The state-certified mountain guide not only has the necessary know-how, but of course also enough physical reserves to accompany you on this experience. You need to be in very good physical condition to climb the Großglockner in one day, as you can expect to climb and descend almost 2,000 meters in altitude. In good conditions, and if you have the necessary experience on the rock, Laura will suggest a traverse with ascent via the Stüdlgrat and descent via the normal route. The climbing up to grade III on the Stüdlgrat is pure enjoyment and is considered one of the alpine ridges that you "must have done". The advantage of the single-push ascent is that you can travel light. After an early start at the Lucknerhaus parking lot at 1,900 m above sea level, you first hike along good paths to the Stüdlhütte, which you will reach in just under 2 hours at the right pace. After another hour over scree and pathless terrain, you will soon reach the 3,175m high Luisenscharte and the start of the Stüdlgrat. For the subsequent 500 vertical meters of climbing up to grade III, you have to reckon with another 3 hours, so that you will reach the summit 6 hours after setting off. However, this is only possible if you have above-average stamina and the necessary reserves. This is much easier, but also requires strenuous climbing on the summit structure. 10 hours in total on this day,Laura's recommendation,Guided by Laura Dahlmeier, state-certified mountain and ski guide, double Olympic champion,Organization of the tour,Provision of necessary equipment,Meeting point the evening before at the Lucknerhaus, preparation of the necessary equipment,Crossing the Großglockner, ascent via Stüdlgrat and descent via the normal route,Exceptionally good physical condition for up to 2.000 vertical meters in ascent and descent, experience with crampons and easy rock, "Climbing a high mountain from the valley is always a special challenge, but also an unforgettable experience.
