Sunrise hike with Pavel

At 2:20 a.m., the lobby is still dark and quiet—and Pavel is already there, headlamp on, and somehow actually already awake. The man loves mountains. And sunrises. And he knows of no better place for them than the Grünten. The hike is no walk in the park: a 700-meter climb, the summit area secured with a wire rope, and a start in the middle of the night. But anyone who makes it to the top and sees the first light over the Alps—will understand why Pavel keeps doing this. We’ll provide a packed lunch and a headlamp. Pavel, of course, knows exactly what else you’ll need: sturdy footwear, and warm layers and something to drink in your backpack.

Register by 6:00 p.m. the day before at the front desk.

Start: 2:20 a.m. | Return: approx. 9:00 a.m. | Walking time: approx. 3.5–4 hours | 700 meters elevation gain | Difficulty: moderate, not suitable for people with asthma

Pavel leads the hike for groups of two or more—bring a friend, a partner, or just someone who’s willing to be awake at 2:20 a.m.

Please note: In case of bad weather, we reserve the right to cancel at short notice—the mountains sometimes have the final say.
