#SALEWA3000 at Grossglockner

Advertorial: The time has come! The Glockner bivouac as we knew it has been history. Now a new bivouac box perches 3,205 metres above sea level, just below Austria’s highest peak, the Grossglockner. Mountaineers wanting to make the ascent from the north side can in emergency find shelter and safety in the bivouac, assembled in just a few days by a 12-strong team.

The old bivouac box, built in 1957, had become too small and was in need of renovation because of the damage to the aluminium skin over the decades, while some of the beds were affected by mould.

We are delighted that, thanks to #SALEWA3000 Project, we are contributing to the fact that our partner, the Alpine Club, has been able to renovate this vital shelter. Now the project is over, we are thankful to all participants. More info on Salewa.com
