On Wednesday on Austrian Matterhorn, weather like day before on Hochschober, snow melted. Here something special for Bojan who was up there Sunday in fog and snow. On via ferrata I was the only one of 25 with helmet, few used SVK. Nice, more demanding mountain, worth a visit.

The via ferrata runs along the right, southeastern ridge

Ferrata not difficult, I wouldn't clip in either if not worried about slip on snow. Mountain is prominent. I see views are crazy too. Will come again for sure.

How much does sleeping cost (assume you slept in Lienzer hutte)?

After yesterday's conquered Petzeck today (25.8.2017) on this very nice mountain. Tour starts at Wangenitzseehutte where we slept, from there continue to Lienzer Hütte which takes good 2h. Path from hut goes through valley and not demanding up to 2900m where ridge starts. Ridge quite airy but very well secured.
Bojan, don't know if it helps you, sleeping with breakfast and PZS card at Wangenitzseehütte costs 25€

Further path from the hut, summit visible in the background

We can liven up the path by crossing a very narrow little bridge, of course we can avoid it and continue on the easier path

Yesterday we went with the hiking club to this wonderful peak Glödisspitze. Classic route from Parkplatz Seichenbrunn along the gravel road to Lienzer Hütte hut, where the morning sun shines on us and nice view of today's goal. Path to the foot of the secured section is nice and not demanding. From there it's a well-protected path to the summit, especially interesting is the bridge you cross. Weather perfect, rock dry, plenty of holds for climbing, simply a nice tour. Views from the top fantastic, ... nothing to add.

Behind me is a wonderful weekend with two conquered 3000ers Glödis and Petzeck.

Conditions ideal, no snow up there yet, path dry and bare. Huts are already closed.

Lately I've been posting less frequently on the forum, which doesn't mean I'm not active in the mountains - just due to numerous work obligations it's hard to find time to describe things properly. In the coming weeks I might correct some sins (Hochalmspitze, Grossglockner, Krofička traverse etc.), but this time I'll manage to post a completely up-to-date report related to the beginning of this week that might give someone an idea for visiting the wonderful peaks we visited with a colleague.

I used the last two days of annual leave for peaks around Lienz. A good week earlier I planned to end the high alpine season in Switzerland with Finsteraarhorn, but had to postpone this tour for a year due to health and weather conditions, so for this year I said goodbye to foreign high mountains with a less demanding and more comfortable trip (though planned relatively complex).
With my friend we chose a somewhat unusual and complicated itinerary, which earned us quite a few extraordinary views and atmospheric moments - well, also some annoyance nasmeh

On the first day, to admit, in the proverbial style of Slavic colleagues not too early we arrived at the entrance to the Hohe Tauern world and climbed the prominent, recognizable from afar Glödis (also Glödisspitze). The secured path leading to the summit along the southeast ridge since 2006 is technically not particularly demanding (mostly up to B, one spot maybe B/C, short climb above the bridge C, but can be avoided), but damp rocks carrying patches of fresh snow required cautious ascent. On the way we cross a very attractive suspension bridge, which due to the snow tongue and icy base below looked quite ominous.
After a stop at the summit in increasingly panoramic afternoon we slowly descended and on the way observed a "glory" (phenomenon similar to a rainbow). In the evening we were at the car and headed to the starting point towards the goal of the second day on the contrasting side south of Lienz.

Perhaps it's a bit premature to say that summer conditions are leaving - we went to the summit right after a short snowfall period, on the via ferrata only fresh wind-blown snow accompanied us, which after a few warmer days is probably gone now. Views from the top were more selective, Grossglockner which I visited in early September didn't peek out of the clouds; nevertheless the spacious summit offered a nice choice for the last days of calendar summer and the Schober group revealed itself somewhat shyly but quite majestically before us.

Finally some more technical notes: the trip is quite well known to Slovenes and due to the fairly straightforward Glödis path offers a comfortable opportunity for a one-day assault on an attractive three-thousander, but the drive to the Lienz area in East Tyrol is quite long. The road to Seichenbrunn compared to most similar Austrian starting points is locally a bit worse (that's why we had some unexpected problems on the late evening descent), but shouldn't be a serious obstacle even for low cars - it's not the Gößgraben road nasmeh

Path to the via ferrata entrance at just over 2900 m is easy, long and somewhat monotonous, though through attractive landscape.
Flawlessly secured via ferrata is more akin to our high alpine secured paths than modern sport vias and apart from the attractive bridge crossing is skillfully routed over the most comfortable ridge passages.
Hut open until early October, but seems to have been somewhat deserted lately - we met no one on the entire path, towards the summit we broke the first tracks in the snow.
