Hiking day at Mons Glockner
East Tyrol-North Carinthia
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Sufficient snow to be able to start from the Lucknerhaus. Due to the southern exposure of the ascent, there are still a few patches of grass and rock to be found in the lower section (< 2600 m). More than enough snow at the top.
Snow quality
Everything was frozen hard as a rock from bottom to top - the descent was more like a foot massage as there were lots of small to medium-sized chunks of ice spread over a large area. I guess this opinion changes for skiers who come down after 10:30 am.
Risks
Classic spring touring conditions. We had no observations of any wet snow slides etc.. No older cones to be seen either.
Overall impression
Fantastic weather, despite Friday it was already quite busy. The only way to avoid the drama in the saddle was to set off early or late.
