    The Großvenediger is a heavily glaciated main summit in the Hohe Tauern and with 3657m one of the highest mountains in Austria. The world-famous Majästätt, as the Großvenediger is often called, can be climbed via several routes from Salzburg or Osttirol. Technically, the tours are less difficult, but all routes lead over heavily glaciated terrain, which is not to be underestimated due to the risk of splits.

    Beautiful landscape with huge glacier areas, a relatively easy ascent, great panoramic view and a prominent summit name are the keywords of the Grossvenediger.

    The name Großvenediger was first mentioned in 1797 in a protocol of a border inspection. There is no clarity about the origin of the name, so it should be derived from passing merchants, the Preachers. Even the distance to Venice is an often-mentioned but refuted theory.

    The Großvenediger can be walked on three different normal routes (north rise, east rise and south rise).
