Facts and practical information

Grimming, Austria's imposing sentinel, stands as a monumental testament to nature's awe-inspiring craftsmanship. This solitary limestone mountain, part of the Dachstein massif, rises to an elevation of 2,351 meters, dominating the Ennstal valley with its distinctive, undulating profile. Known for its challenging climbs and panoramic views, Grimming beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike.

The mountain's sheer cliffs and rugged terrain have made it a coveted destination for experienced climbers, offering a variety of routes that range from traditional climbing to fixed-rope via ferrata tracks. Not only a summer attraction, Grimming's slopes also provide opportunities for winter sports, including ski mountaineering and ice climbing.

Despite its solitary appearance, Grimming is steeped in local legend, contributing to the cultural tapestry of the region. It is often enveloped in mist, adding to its mystique and the sense that it is a mountain shrouded in secrets waiting to be discovered.
