Cornetto

Climbing the 'Cornetto' (grade 3+) in the Dachstein Mountains offers a thrilling alpine experience. While not overly technical, the route demands good fitness and a head for heights. Expect exposed traverses, scrambling over rocky ridges, and potentially some short, steeper sections requiring secure handholds and careful foot placement. The views from the summit, encompassing the vast Dachstein plateau and surrounding peaks, are simply breathtaking and make the effort entirely worthwhile. Weather conditions in the Dachstein are notoriously unpredictable, so be sure to check the forecast and pack accordingly. Helmets, harnesses, and appropriate climbing shoes are essential, and a rope might be advisable for less experienced climbers or in case of uncertain conditions. Proper planning and respect for the mountain environment are key to a safe and memorable ascent of the 'Cornetto'.
