ALPINE TOURS
First-ascent routes
The classics of the Eastern and Western Alps
We follow in the footsteps of the first ascensionists to the most beautiful summits in the Alps. Many of their routes have become the normal routes to this day, but on some summits we leave the normal routes behind to follow exciting lines and experience a touch of alpine history. Either way, all of these tours are among the highlights of the Alps. Let yourself be surprised. Here are the tours on offer:

SOUTH TYROL
The most beautiful alpine tours in and around South Tyrol
Königsspitze
Normal route (AD, 45°)
The Königsspitze is one of the most beautifully shaped peaks in the entire Eastern Alps. Although not quite as high as the Ortler, it is considerably more spectacular in appearance. On top of that, the normal route on the Königsspitze is one of the most demanding normal routes in the entire Eastern Alps. A tour that is only feasible in ideal conditions for a short time each year.
Duration:
2 days
Zufall and Cevedale
Traverse (PD, 40°)
The twin summits of the Zufallspitze and Cevedale make an ideal, beautiful traverse starting from Martell. The two peaks, among the highest in the Eastern Alps, can be climbed without any great technical difficulty and still offer an impressive glacier and mountain experience.
Duration:
2 days
Weisskugel
Normal route (AD-, II, 40°)
The Weißkugel is one of the most beautiful and highest summits in South Tyrol and the entire Eastern Alps. The ascent from the Matschertal, with a short but beautiful summit ridge as its finale, definitely ranks among the most impressive and scenic alpine tours in the Eastern Alps.
Duration:
2 days
Similaun
Normal route (PD-, 30°)
An easy glacier tour to the 3,599-metre Similaun, high above the Schnalstal. From the Vernagt reservoir we head up to the Similaunhütte and the next day on to the summit. A great opportunity to gain your first glacier experience while visiting the historic site where Ötzi was found.
Duration:
2 days
Rötspitze
North-east ridge (PD, III-)
The Rötspitze is one of the most impressive peaks in the Venediger Group. It offers both glacier terrain and beautiful ridge climbing (II). From the summit you enjoy fantastic views down into the Ahrntal and onto the wildly crevassed Umbalkees glacier – for a moment you could imagine yourself in the Western Alps. There is the option of climbing the Dreiherrenspitze on an additional day.
Duration:
2 days
Freiger, Pfaff & Zuckerhütl
Summit combination (PD, II, 40°)
The best way to forget the effort of the long approach from Ridnaun to the Müllerhütte and the Becherhaus is to combine three magnificent summits of the Stubai Alps on this first-class alpine tour. On the way, you travel across the largest glacier in South Tyrol, one of the most impressive and beautiful in the entire Eastern Alps.
Duration:
3 days
Turnerkamp
South Ridge (V)
Right on the Main Alpine Ridge in the Zillertal Alps lies one of the most beautiful granite climbs in South Tyrol. Varied blocky climbing on the finest granite. Exposed and spiced up with some punchy pitches of grade IV and a grade V crux, it leads to a stunning viewpoint summit in the Tauferer Ahrntal.
Duration:
2 days
Schwarzenstein
South Ridge (IV)
The south ridge of the Schwarzenstein is a tour for lovers of solitary, long, and wild ridges. It's actually unjustly under-climbed. Perhaps this is due to the demands: 2,000 meters of elevation gain must be conquered in a single day, a large portion of which is along the rocky ridge with climbing sections up to grade IV (UIAA).
Duration:
1 day
EASTERN ALPS
The finest alpine tours in the Eastern Alps
Marmolada
West Ridge - Hans Seyffert Weg (B)
The Marmolada – queen and heart of the Dolomites. A unique summit whose icy flank will slowly but surely fall victim to climate change. For now, though, it is still a beautiful and very rewarding glacier tour which, done as a traverse with the ascent via the long via ferrata on the west ridge, offers an unforgettable experience.
Duration:
1 day
Olperer
North ridge (AD-, III-, 40°)
The north ridge of the Olperer promises a magnificent climb on truly excellent rock along the striking ridge that separates the Hintertux glacier ski area from the pristine Valsertal and Wildlahnertal valleys. The tour requires solid crampon technique, sure-footedness, and climbing up to grade III. In return, it offers a varied and beautiful high-alpine tour directly on the main Alpine ridge.
Duration:
2 days
Großglockner
Stüdlgrat (AD, III+)
The Stüdlgrat on the Großglockner can without doubt be counted among the most beautiful ridges in the entire Alps. A stairway to heaven that leads, with enjoyable climbing on superb rock, to Austria's highest summit. There are climbing pitches up to III+ to master - all in a setting that could hardly be more beautiful.
Duration:
2 days
Wildspitze
Normal route (PD, II)
At 3,768 metres, the Wildspitze in the Ötztal Alps is the second-highest peak in Austria, just 30 metres short of the Großglockner. The tour up the Wildspitze is a first-class alpine tour that is also particularly well suited to newcomers to the world of glacier tours.
Duration:
2 days
Großvenediger
Normal route (PD-)
Despite its considerable height of 3,666 metres, the Großvenediger is one of the easier alpine tours in the Alps, which makes it a good choice for gaining your first glacier experience with a mountain guide. Despite its low difficulty, the "Ancient Majesty" shows its spectacular side on all flanks, with numerous crevasses and large glaciers.
Duration:
2 days
Cima Presanella
Normal route (PD, II, 40°)
Cima Presanella is the highest peak in Trentino. The summit offers a fantastic panorama of the Brenta Group as far as the Monte Rosa massif and over to the Hohe Tauern. The summit climb is spectacular without demanding too much in the way of technical difficulty. A magnificent and unique alpine tour all round.
Duration:
2 days
Monte Disgrazia
North-West Ridge (AD, III, 40°)
The highest peak in the Bregaglia Alps is a very special alpine tour. Stunning, varied and yet rarely visited. Glaciers and a long ridge lead over the Cavallo di Bronzo to this beautifully shaped summit. The climbing on the north-west ridge is airy and varied.
Duration:
2 days
WESTERN ALPS
The finest alpine tours in the Western Alps
Eiger
Mittelegi Ridge (AD+, III+, 45°)
The Mittelegi Ridge on the Eiger is one of the most beautiful and impressive rock ridges in the entire Alps. Jagged rock climbing with breathtaking views into the depths, up to the summit of one of Switzerland's most famous mountains – even though, at under 4,000 metres, it is far from being one of the highest points in the Alps.
Duration:
2 days
