    Zugspitze Iron Age

One of the longest climbing routes in Germany

Wild and challenging, this is how the "Eisenzeit" presents itself on the Zugspitze. With a wall height of 1,200 m and a total ascent of 2,000 m, the Eisenzeit is also one of the longest climbing routes in Germany. Although the difficulties do not exceed grade IV, the overall demands and the overall experience are very high. You can find lots more information and suggestions at https://vivalpin.blog/harakiri-in-der-eisenzeit. A tour with the Vivalpin mountain school in Garmisch-Partenkirchen only for fit and experienced mountaineers.

Note on program changes: 

All courses and guided tours are conscientiously organized and carried out in accordance with the safety standards of the Vivalpin Mountain and Ski School with qualified specialists (e.g. mountain and ski guides, mountain hiking guides, etc.). The provisional tour program may be adjusted for safety-related reasons, such as bad weather, dangerous conditions, unforeseen natural events or inadequate conditions of the participants. The final program will be decided by the guide on site.

A tour only for fit and experienced mountaineers. Safe climbing in grade IV. Very good physical condition for up to 2,100 m ascent.

"The Iron Age is a fantastic climbing route in the human-rated IV. grade through a 1,000 m wall.
With mountain guide:in you will have the purest pleasure, because you do not have to search for the route and you can rely on the rope safety from above even in the not always completely reliable rock.
You will reach the summit in the late afternoon with the feeling of having achieved something very special!"
