Description

Join me on a great ski touring day to the Pihapper (2513m), a sharp peak in the Venediger Group of the High Tauern mountain range. It rises high above the town of Mittersill, in the state of Salzburg, in the Pinzgau region of the Alps.

This beautiful mountain offers a spectacular viewpoint. However, if you want to enjoy the breathtaking panorama from the summit, you have to be brave! On the last few meters, it is necessary to master a short climbing pass.

Once at the summit, after appreciating a magnificent view, all that's left is enjoying a fun descent!

During this day in the Pihapper, we will climb 1300 meters to the summit. The ascent will take us about 4 or 5 hours. So you need to be in good physical condition. Besides, you must be able to ski on all types of snow.

So contact me if you want to join me in this ski touring day in the Pihapper! I will be happy to guide you to the summit and enjoy a fantastic descent afterwards.

There are many great spots for ski touring in Austria! You can also check out other programs that I offer. Take a look at the Kröndlhorn 1-day tour, in the Kitzbühel Alps, or the Grossvenediger 2-day ski touring program.

Mountain Guide

I am a IFMGA certified mountain guide and a climbing lover. I grew up in a small farm in Mittersiller Sonnberg. My parents used to show us the beauty of our mountains. When I was 10 years old I went ski touring for the first time and I really loved it. The next years, I started climbing walls which really fascinated me. I also participated in many competitions.

My career took me to Hohe Tauern National Park where I finished the ranger training to bring visitors to the beauties of my country.

In 2013, I got my official certificate as a mountain guide and ski instructor. A dream came true! Since 2014, I have been working a full time guide, guiding in different areas such as Ortler, Valais, Dolomites, Wilder Kaiser, Muztagh Ata (China)... and of course, in some of our famous mountains such as Großvenediger and Großglockner.

Feel free to get in touch with me! I'll be glad to share with you a great moment in the mountains!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
