First day we meet at Lucknerhaus (1920 m) in early afternoon. From there we start the approach (if possible with bikes) towards Lucknerhutte and further to Studlhutte which presents our goal for the first day. Studlhutte is a very comfortable starting point for Grossglockner and it is also known for it's 5-star cuisine. Next day we depart from the hut, cross the remainings of the glacier and ascend to highest alpine hut in Austria - Erzherzog Johann Hutte (3454 m). Soon above the hut, the terrain gets steeper and more exposed as we reach the SE ridge that leads us to the summit. Descend folows the same way, back to the car.
