Climbing in the Drautal Valley

On holidays at the Glocknerhof there are several great climbing opportunities: The climbing parks in Greifenburg and Lienz, the Pirknerklamm gorge near Ötting, the via ferrata behind the church in Oberdrauburg and the climbing hall in Mühldorf. Rental equipment and trainers are available.

Via ferrata Pirknerklamm

The via ferrata Pirknerklamm near Ötting is one of the most spectacular in Carinthia – directly at the roaring torrent, past waterfalls offer numerous photo spots. The Pirknerklamm is also suitable for families with children. Climbing is up the gorge. A hiking trail leads back to the starting point. An ideal excursion for families. Duration: about 2 to 3 hours. If you are climbing for the first time, an experienced person should be with you. Drausport offers weekly guided tours.

Climbing equipment

The equipment for climbing (helmet and harness) is available at the bathing lake in Greifenburg and at the bakery Egger in Oberdrauburg. Sturdy shoes are recommended.

High Ropes Course Greifenburg

A destination for the whole family. Directly at the bathing lake Greifenburg is the high ropes course including 2 x 160 m long lake zipline (from 6 years), with which you can roar over the lake. Under expert guidance, you can dare to take your first steps at airy heights in the high ropes course. A real climbing fun for young and old!

Climbing park Lienz

Climbing hall Mühldorf

The climbing hall in Mühldorf is one of the largest in Austria and is in operation all year round. Especially in bad weather and cold months it is a great alternative.
