Description

Trekking in Austria's Hohe Tauern, including the ascent of the Grossglockner and Grossvenediger, is a comprehensive guide to four treks in the national park. The routes range from the 61km Reichen Group Hut-to-Hut Rucksack Route to the 99km Glockner Rucksack Route, with options to tackle the glacier crossings and neighbouring peaks, including Austria's highest peak, the Gross Glockner.

The guidebook provides detailed route descriptions, illustrated with 1:50,000 mapping, as well as elevation profiles and a comprehensive hut directory. Each day's challenges and potential hazards are also summarised, making it an ideal resource for those planning to tackle the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Gross Glockner.

Optional ascents of neighbouring peaks are also included, with some requiring specialist equipment and mountaineering skills. The guidebook is designed to be used in conjunction with the other stages of the routes to complete a traverse of the national park and an ascent of the Gross Glockner.
