Are you looking for a new alpine challenge? Then come to the mountaineering village of Vent, where the “glacier priest” Franz Senn once laid the foundations for modern alpinism. It was also the co-founder of the German Alpine Club who was the first to stand on 3,500 m high Fluchtkogel in 1869. Follow in his footsteps but not alone: surrounded by Austria’s largest glacier area at one stretch, we will accompany you on the mountain adventure of a lifetime!

As the name suggests, you don't need any previous experience on similar mountain tours for this package. Our specialists will guide and accompany you safely through the adventurous glaciers and three thousand meter high peaks. All the necessary knowledge such as knot and rope technique, crampon technique and correct glacier crossing will be taught on site. Nevertheless, the tour to Fluchtkogel with 2 days on the glacier is not a walk in the park. In order to cope with the physical effort, you should be an experienced hiker and in a very good physical shape - walking times of up to 6 hours should not overwhelm you. This tour is just right for you if you want to take mountaineering to the next level - without any organizing, without risks, just focusing on the mountain scenery and enjoying the tour.
All in one! The following services are included in the package price:
After your arrival in Vent and check-in at your accommodation, there will be an official welcome where you will meet your tour companions and your contact person, the hiking guide. In addition to the first important information about the course of the next few days, you will also receive your starter pack. Afterwards, everyone can get to know each other better over a cozy dinner.
Together as a group, you will head to the Venter Kaufhäusl, where you can hire your equipment for the coming days. After an equipment check by your mountain and hiking guide, you will take the ascent aid to the Rofenkarferner. Here you will prepare your body for the altitude on the Fluchtkogel, learn how to use crampons, ropes and ice axes correctly and receive an introduction to tour planning and orientation. Before returning to Vent, you will stop off at the Stablein Alm. You then have the evening at leisure.
Off we go! After the final equipment check, we start the climb to the first stage of the main tour: Brandenburger Haus. The mountain guide joins the group during a stopover at Hochjoch Hospiz. Well prepared and looked after, we cross Kesselwandferner glacier in a group, which forms Austria’s largest connected glacier areas together with Gepatschferner. Before spending the night in the hut - if the conditions are right - we admire the sunset on Dahmannspitze (3,397 m), about a 20-minute climb above the night camp.
The day of truth! From Brandenburger Haus we now head over the glacier to Fluchtkogel at 3,500 m with a mountain and hiking guide. Here the important thing is to capture the moment and celebrate the summit victory in Tirolean style saying “Berg heil”. You really deserve it after the strenuous climb! The descent leads one last time over glacier ice and then via Vernagthütte back to Vent, where you can return to your accommodation and relax. In the evening, all participants have dinner together, including a review of the past days and the presentation of the finisher goodies.
Individual check-out and departure.
