Description

Nestled into the Bavarian Alps in the south of Germany, the Jubiläumsgrat is a popular climbing route that heads up along the arête between the Zugspitze (2.962 meters) and the Hochblassen (2.706 meters).

Affectionately knows as Jubi in climbing circles, the six-kilometer ridge line is usually best climbed in the summer, but for a real challenge, we’ll be heading along it during the winter!

As long as the weather cooperates with us, we’ll be able to make a thrilling and adrenaline-pumping “tight rope walk” along the ridge, enjoying spectacular views out over some of the tallest and most iconic peaks in Germany.

We will also get the chance to climb the three peaks of the Höllentalspitzen (2.740 meters) and the Vollkarspitze (2.630 meters) along the way. These peaks sit on the ridge line and provide even more excellent views both back out the way we came and further along the ridge.

As the trip takes two days, we will spend the night in the famed bivouac box at Jubiläumsgrat, which can comfortably sleep up to 12 climbers and adds to the alpine experience.

In order to fully and safely enjoy this experience, you should be an experienced mountaineer in excellent physical condition as the climbing is both quite technical and tough.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable winter traverse of the Jubiläumsgrat  in Germany’s Bavarian Alps!

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.

What people are saying about BBS-Alpin

Ashley

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.

He is an amazing person. Loved the company and his support throughout the journey

Melanie

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
