Schrocken

Schrocken is a mountain summit in the Arlberg region of Austria, standing at approximately 2,000 meters and offering views across the Alpine landscape in all directions. The peak is part of a well-known chain of summits that climbers can reach during multi-day expeditions.

The mountain gained prominence in the 1950s when two mountaineers completed an ascent of seven peaks in a single day. This achievement later inspired the creation of organized tour routes designed for different skill levels.

The peak draws climbers from across Europe who share routes and stories during multi-day climbing expeditions. It has become a meeting place where visitors experience the local mountain culture and connect with others who love high-altitude hiking.

The climb demands good physical fitness and mountain experience, as routes are steep and demanding. It is essential to bring proper equipment and check weather conditions before attempting the ascent.

A special beginner-friendly route called Rookie Summits Tour introduces less experienced hikers to multiple peaks on this mountain. This tour demonstrates that not all routes here are extremely demanding.
