Die neue Gondel 'Karwendelkristall' der Karwendelbahn Mittenwald

Ice climbing

The 80 metres high vertical ice wall inspires respect. The waterfall can be freely accessed by experienced ice climbers. (Please travel before 1.00 p.m. to ensure that you catch the last gondola back to the valley.) Anyone who has already taken a beginner's course and is keen to have another go can experience the ice-cold adventure with „Karwendelguides" mountain leaders. Why not improve your technique with ice tools, rope and crampons over the course of two days?

If you'd prefer just to spectate, you'll get an excellent view of the climbers tackling the icicles from the gondola. Or you can also follow the intrepid climbers' progress from the mountain restaurant or the gigantic telescope. The conditions at 2,200 metres make the ice wall accessible until mid April.
