Enjoy 4 days of freetouring ski in Arlberg, one of the best ski area in Austria, together with Andreas, an IFMGA mountain guide.
Alps
4 Days
Jan - Mar
Join me for a 4-day ski trip practicing freetouring (a mix between ski touring and freeriding) in Arlberg.
Arlberg is a traditional ski resort of Austria formed by five small alpine villages. It combines almost 280 km of marked ski slopes with 180 km of deep-snow runs.
In fact, it was in this place (most precisely at St Anton) where the legend ski instructor Hannes Schneider developed his famous technique, known as ‘Arlberg technique’.
During this freetouring trip, we’ll ski in different areas like Sonnenkopf, St Anton, Warth and Rendl, looking for the best slopes. We’ll combine skis and lifts in order to avoid the crowds which are common in ski resorts.
Furthermore, if the weather conditions are good, we’ll visit different ice capped peaks like Zeissladspitze, Gamskarspitze, Kaltenberg and Kreuzjochspitze, among others.
It is important that you are able to ski safely in all snow conditions. You’ll also have to be in a good shape. We’ll be climbing between 2 or 3 hours each day, so you’ll need crampons for the ascent.
Are you planning a trip to Austria? Please contact me and let’s go for some exciting freetouring! I will be happy to show you my favorite spots around Arlberg.

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.

Thomas was nice and took some great pictures of us. He was NOT the guide that I had been speaking with. The day before the trip the person I had been communicating with sent me a message saying that his friend was going to guide us, which felt a little weird. He was nice but not much of a guide. He didnt say much throughout the climb. I have prior experience and knowledge but We had a few inexperienced climbers with us. I was expecting a bit more instruction on climbing techniques and safety. I am a certified professional ski instructor. When I teach/guide I usually take a more active/interactive approach with clients on piest to ensure a safe, comfortable all around experience. Thomas was very nice and when asked a question gave good responses. Overall the trip was good and we all had a good time.

Andreas was an awesome guide. He provided harnesses and helmets. We went in may when there was still snow on the mountain. Some of the cables were buried; he was prepared with his own ropes. He was very confident and comfortable on the mountain which made me feel safer. If doing this, bring plenty of water, gloves, wear sunscreen, and bring food
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
