Alpentraversale Trek

Details:

This alpine crossing from north to south is hard to beat in terms of uniqueness and beauty. The crossing of the Northern Limestone Alps - past the famous Watzmann east face - over the unique limestone landscape of the Stone Sea is spectacular.  The Central Alps, with the mighty glacier mountains of the Great Wiesbachhorn and  Großglockner, are breathtaking. The Großglockner (3,798 m), the highest mountain in Austria, offers a different perspective from every side; from the north, the famous Nordwandeisinnen and from the south, the steeply sloping rock landscape are visible.

After the jewels of Germany and Austria we continue to roam through the gentle Villgraten mountains of East Tyrol with their beautifully situated lakes and alpine pastures until we finally reach the steep rock massifs of the Dolomites, with the world-famous Tre Cime (aka Drei Zinnen), some of the most photographed peaks in Europe. The Alpentraversale Trek takes us through Germany, Austria, and Italy in 9 days and we experience something special every day.

 

Our accommodations include some of the best huts in the Alpine Association.  The views are amazing, the food delicious, and we have private rooms each night where available.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: 
This hike is considered strenuous based on technical level, the hours spent hiking each day, and daily ascents up to 4000 feet. You need a head for heights, sure-footedness and mountain experience. You do not need technical climbing skills to participate in this hike, but you should be comfortable scrambling across boulders, hiking steep inclines and declines using cables (without harness attachment), and be comfortable navigating trails with steep drop-offs. 

  • This hike is not van supported so you will carry what you need from hut to hut. 

Because of the technical aspect of this hike if you do not have the required items, you will either need to purchase them, at your own expense before we depart on the hike, or regrettably, you will not be able to join the hike for safety reasons.
