Alps

2 Days

Jan, Feb

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.

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
