Gsengalmplatte

The Gsengalmplatte, a prominent limestone sentinel in the majestic Tennen Mountains of Austria, offers a classic alpine climbing experience. With routes typically graded around 5+ (UIAA), it's a challenging yet immensely rewarding ascent for the moderately experienced climber. The multi-pitch routes on Gsengalmplatte are renowned for their excellent rock quality, often steep and exposed sections, and breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Salzburg Alps and the Dachstein massif. Each pitch demands careful technique and provides an exhilarating sense of exposure as you ascend the impressive face. Reaching the summit after conquering the varied terrain – from slabs to vertical sections – is a moment of pure triumph, offering unparalleled vistas. The descent, often involving rappels and a walk-off, perfectly rounds off an unforgettable day in this stunning high-alpine environment. It's truly a must-do for any alpinist visiting the region.
