GROSSVENEDIGER – GROSSGLOCKNER

GROSSVENEDIGER - GROSSGLOCKNER

Discover the eastern most summits of the Alps

READY TO SKI ?

A tour in the Tauern mountain range gives us the chance to visit the last high peaks (3800m) of the Alpine Arc before they descend into central Europe. The quality of the Austrian refuges is a highlight, and their comfort will be appreciated as this tour includes some strenuous days. There are panoramas to take your breath away, and some quite fabulous long descents.

 

• Challenging tour in Austria’s Tauern Range
• Six summits in six days
• Comfortable Refuges
• Start with the Großvenediger, finish with the Großglockner
