Guffert is a 2.195m high mountain in the "Rofangebirge" in Austria and looks like a rocky pyramid. The beautiful mountain is called "The Matterhorn above the Achensee". The round trip-route (ascent from the South / Steinberg descent via Luxeck) is a classic T3 hiking-route with some scrambling and takes 6-7h up and down.

The route is well signed out, because of the south exposition and the "Latschen" it`s very hot in summer. Near the peak be careful, stones are polished - some sections safed with steel ropes. [Thanks to Thomas for the description]

I've seen this peak from many angles now, and I've always been intrigued. I want to take a chance before the snow comes in to get to the summit!

The days are getting short, but the weather is still looking good. This is a fast-paced hike [500 hm/hour] for fit buddies with some experience of scrambling. You'll need a good head for heights, sturdy shoes and a positive attitude. On this hike, we all move together, at the pace of the slowest person.

Equipment:

• Hiking boots
• Head torch
• Water and food for the entire day
• Waterproofs
• Warm clothing

Optional equipment:

• Hiking poles
• First aid kit
• Compass and map

If I haven't hiked with you before and you don't have many hikes on this website, please send me a message when joining to let me know what your previous experience is. I'm very happy to make new friends, but you need to be able to keep up with the group. I may remove you without warning if you don't contact me, but I will feel a bit sad about doing so.

We aim to be back in Munich by the early evening (8 pm or so), but please don't make any plans. If the traffic is bad, we might chose to stop for dinner instead of sitting for ages in a traffic jam.
