Description

Let me invite you to a great 1-day via ferrata trip in the Alpspitze. It’s the second most famous peak of the German Wetterstein mountains.

I have the pleasure to share with my clients this amazing via ferrata program. And this time I’d like to encourage you to join us as well! It is a really fantastic experience because the Alpspitze is a perfect spot for the practice of rock climbing. Furthermore, thanks to its pyramidal shape, it is the most prominent peak seen from the city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

This via ferrata route up to the top of the Alpspitze is equipped with all the safety devices to guarantee the most secure experience. In fact, if it’s your first time climbing a rocky wall I will give you all the necessary instructions on the handling of the climbing gear.

The only requirement you will need is to have a moderate level of physical resistance. That is so that you can overcome the 6 total hours that will take us ascending and descending from the top.

Contact me now and let’s rock climbing the amazing alpine wall of the Alpspitze!

Mountain Guide

My name is Andreas Biberger. I grew up in Mittenwald, in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Already as a child I was drawn to the mountains and spent a lot of time as a child on skis. At some point I started with rock climbing and everything developed gradually. After school, I first learned the profession of coach builder for cars and I also liked it a lot.

Again and again I also joined climbing courses at the local mountain school. Then I started a training to become a state-certified mountain and ski guide. I have always been passionate about endurance sports so I also tried other sports, such as triathlon, and participated in probably the most famous competition, the Ironman in Hawaii. Mountain biking is another big passion of mine.

I am a certified-IFMGA mountain guide, and for more than 20 years I have accompanied guests through the Alps several times a year. But I still like to travel in my homeland in the mountains and guide my guests to lesser-known but beautiful peaks.

Rudi was awesome. Very knowledgable and gave me a lot of climbing pointers for via ferrata. Also, super helpful with recommending other great sites in Austria and Germany. I hope to climb with him again when I’m back in central Europe.

Unfortunately due to the weather condition we need to cancel. Rudi was very helpful and responsive. Thanks.. will try again

Michelle

I loved my excursion! Rudi is a great guide who has been guiding for over a decade and has a lot of experience--yet was incredibly patient with me as more of a novice climber. For purposes of this tour, Rudi is also from the area and had a lot of local insights. Thanks for the great experience, Rudi and explore-share :-)

Guide was Reini. He guided us at just the perfect speed to be back in 5 hours at the alpspitzbahn top station. Highly recommended. Great experience - first via ferrata!
