2 Days

Description

If you want to learn the basics of ski touring, this 2-day course in the Lechtal Alps is an ideal opportunity for you.

This is a great ski area near the South border between Austria and Germany. In fact there are many ski resorts in this place, offering different options to enjoy the winter season. I recommend it specially for beginners and families.

Inside the state of Tyrol, in Austria, you can also find the Lechtal valley, a beautiful alpine region.

During this trip, I’ll introduce you to the secrets of this fascinating sport. You’ll improve your walking and ski technique and learn the most important things about spotting. You’ll also learn how to deal with LVS equipment (to use in case of avalanche emergency). Besides, you’ll receive training on the correct traction systems, as well as deep snow techniques.

As for the physical conditions, you’ll just have to be prepared for a 2 to 4 hours ascent, around 800 and 1000 m.

If you are planning a trip to Austria and want to be a part of this ski touring course, please contact me. Maybe we can organize it for a weekend. I can assure it will be a great experience!

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.

Zugspitze via Hollental route was stunning right from the beginning until the end. This was probably the most beautiful climb for me. I enjoyed Ferrara and every step of the climb. I asked Andi to start at 4:30 as I was worry about thunderstorm in the afternoon and he was happy to accommodate my request. Andi was very caring, knowledgeable and patient as I always want to take lots of picture throughout the trip. This is my 3rd trip via Explore-share and I like free hassle of no need to look for a guide on the internet so may use them again in the feature.
