Grossvenediger 3674 m

On Saturday, Rok and I waited for the sunrise at the summit.
We cycled to Johannishütte hut, then continued on foot to Defreggerhaus hut. After a short break, we climbed over Rainer Kees glacier to the summit. The views were exceptional; we could see part of our Julian Alps too.
On the descent, we also summited the 3506 m high Hohes Aderl, then returned the same way to the starting point and cycled home.

Hello, I'm interested if anyone is going to Grossvenediger this year? I'd join. Thanks in advance for any useful info. Uroš

Is some PD going up there or some larger group? Going alone just without a rope team is, in my opinion, very risky, especially that initial glacier part.... I'm attaching a photo from a few years ago...... If some group goes, I'd gladly join....

My buddy and I are also interested if any group or PD plans to go to Großvenediger this August or September? As the previous poster mentioned, a solo ascent is relatively risky..

Last Friday, a friend and I left Ljubljana early in the morning with the idea of summiting Grossvenediger. After 2 trains, 1 bus and about 7 hours of travelling we finally arrived in Hinterbichl at about 13:30. Without losing any time, we started walking and we arrived at Johannishütte after slightly less than 2 hours. Up to that point it was possible to walk without snow almost all the way up. Anyways, for skiers: after more or less 1 hour of no snow hiking, it was possible to ski all the way up to the hut (conditions weren't the best though). From Johannishütte to Defreggerhaus things were different though. After Johannishütte conditions for skiing are just great and walking becomes a little nightmare in some parts (of course doing this part in the afternoon didn't help with snow conditions). We arrived at Defreggerhaus just before sunset.

Next morning we woke up early and left the hut at about 6:45. Without any major issues we summited in about 2 hours. The glacier is completely covered with snow and feels safe. In fact, there is a clearly marked way up. We were super lucky with the weather and could enjoy some impressive views with just some refreshing wind (haha). The way down to the valley was way less demanding and it basically took us 1 hour from the summit to the hut, 1 hour from hut to hut, and slightly more than 1 hour from this last hut to Hinterbichl.

Beginning of the valley. There was not much snow but still skiing was possible

In the cross. Johannishütte should be just behind the corner

Yesterday 19.07.2021 GK Limberk climbers did a nice tour to Grossvenediger 3666 m. Glacier still covered with snow blanket so crevasses not visible. Otherwise path without features, on top cold and strong wind. Views wonderful.

Nice mountaineering regards.
