Austria, september
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 8:38 pm
I have just "won" an additional week of vacation this summer/autumn, and I'm thinking about going to Austria.
Can anybody recommend any good areas/peaks for the middle of September (I'm thinking about Grossglockner/Hohe Tauern myself)?? I might not have a car, so a round trip of 5-7 days from some train station will be perfect.
I'd like to climb some peaks, but as I might be going alone they shouldn't be too difficult (PD, maybe F, rock climb max II). I have climbed Castor, Pollux, Mt. Blanc and Dom, so something of this difficulty or slighltly easier will be perfect. Via ferrate routes are most welcome
Are the glaciers safe in September?
How stable is the weather.
Any info will be appreciated.
cheers Jesper
