    My first 3,000-meter peak - and that in the dreamlike setting of the Tauern! The secured ascent around the summit restaurant Bella Vista is not too long and not too difficult - the perfect opportunity to get to know the high altitudes and terrain of the Hohe Tauern! Accompanied by a mountain guide, we ascended into the airy heights, where we were rewarded with a unique view: Großglockner, Großvenediger, Großes Wiesbachhorn, as well as the indescribably beautiful surrounding giants and the glacier world.

    From the mountain restaurant, the path goes very steeply upward from the start - the secured path leads over partly sandy and loose ground in about 35 minutes to the summit. The path is mostly secured by steel cables, which is definitely an advantage in high alpine terrain. 

    At the top, you are then rewarded with the view - far below us lie the high mountain reservoirs, opposite is the Große Wiesbachhorn, and the Großglockner (although partly in the clouds) is the main focal point.
