Alpine climbing in the Berchtesgadener Land

Author of this page
The Berchtesgadener Land offers alpine climbers an extremely diverse range, so there is something for every taste and every level of difficulty. From alpine classics like the 1800 m high Watzmann East Face (UIAA: III+) above the Königssee, where you have to do a lot of scrambling, to the very difficult tours at the Reiteralm or the Hoher Göll. In the Hochkalter massif is the northernmost glacier of the Alps, the Blaueis, which is horseshoe-shaped and surrounded by Blaueisspitze, Hoch- and Kleinkalter. The rock, limestone and dolomite, is mostly excellent. The wall heights are on average between 150 and 400 m.

This dream route offers everything a versatile alpinist loves. Wild landscape, plus a lonely unmarked easy climbing route (up to grade III) on a steep southwest face, ending with an easy singletrail almost all the way back to the car. The best bike-hike-and-climb route in the Lofer area.

Logical prime location  The shortest and easiest route on the northwest slabs of the Schärtenspitze is very well protected and therefore perfect for alpine beginners (IV+).

Classic & scenic The Blaueis circuit offers magnificent scenery and, alongside the Watzmann east face, is one of the classic climbs in Berchtesgaden. It is psychologically challenging due to route finding and the need for mobile protection. The climbing itself is rather easy.

After the first two smooth water-groove pitch sections, there is only sharp, partly overhanging endurance climbing. At the beginning and the end on pockets, in the middle section water grooves dominate.
