The Hochkönig is one of the mightiest rock edifices in the northern limestone Alps, lying at the south-eastern corner of the Berchtesgaden Alps. The Hochkönig has a wealth of variety in store for climbers, lovers of fixed-rope trails and truly ambitious mountaineers.

Experienced mountaineers will definitely get their money’s worth on the Königsjodler, one of Austria’s top climbing trails. And if you wish to warm up those climbing muscles a little beforehand, you might want to head to the Grandlspitz climbing trail first.

If you are someone who loves exhilarating climbing routes ranging from levels 3+ to 9, with the secure handholds afforded by the region’s limestone crags, then the 300 different rock-climbing routes of the Hochkönig are the perfect place for you.
