Cracking the three-thousand-meter mark once, a aim that is difficult to reach for many hikers. Nevertheless, even hikers often dream of standing on a three-thousand-meter peak. Many of the high peaks of the Alps that exceed the 3000 meter limit cannot be reached by hikers, as they often surround themselves in extensive glaciers and impressive steep rock faces. With the professionals of the Alpinschule Garmisch it is now also possible for hikers to climb a 3000 meter peak without the corresponding glacier Know-how. Our hiking-3000m peaks, like the wild Mannle with 3023m, the middle Guslarspitze with 3128m and the Kreuzspitze with even 3455m and a breathtaking panorama over the Ötztal Alps and the glacier world do not need to hide behind other peaks in the region. The peaks we are striving for should not be underestimated, as we move in alpine terrain and also in great heights. Additionaly there are some long climbs of up to 1200hm a day to be mastered. For 4 days we immerse ourselves in the unique high mountain world of the Ötztal Alps, in which "Ötzi" was found.
The tour price already includes accommodation and half board.
