Großvenediger 3657m North Ridge IV

The majestic climb up the highest peak in Salzburg is certainly one of the most beautiful tours in the Eastern Alps and should be done by every mountaineer. Difficulties of up to UIAA climbing grade 4 and exposed climbing on massive rock await you....

Day 1: Meeting point Hopffeldboden and take a taxi to the Obersulzbachtal to the Kürsingerhütte cable car. From there it's about a 1.5 hour walk to the hut. The hut's cable car takes care of transporting the heavy backpack, so we arrive at the hut relaxed. After moving into camp, you will receive the rental equipment (crampons, harness, carabiners, etc.) if required, and we end the day with a situation check and tour planning.

Day 2: After breakfast we set off early to make our first contact with the glacier on the Obersulzbachkees as it gets light. Then we continue on the rope to the entrance from the north ridge of the Großvenediger to the Meynow Scharte. From there the climbing begins in easy terrain up to the last rise before the summit. The key point (also known as the evil slab) was renovated a few years ago. After that it is only a few more meters of climbing to the summit and we are standing on the summit of the ancient majesty at lunchtime. After the summit break we head back across the glacier to the Kürsingerhütte. We pack up our things again and go down to the cable car station and take a taxi to Hopffeldboden.
