Description
Traversing seven different mountain peaks on the Mittenwald ridge, there are few via ferratas as exciting as this one anywhere in the world!
And over the course of our day together, we will climb along it!
Beginning with a ride up to the Karwendel cable car station at 2.244 meters in elevation, we will hike up to the via ferrata and strap in.
As we traverse the ridge line, expect phenomenal views out over the rest of the Alps and over the Bavarian plains as well. Many say this is one of the best views that you can get in all of Germany.
While we trek across the ridge line, expect to pass over the Linderspitze, Sulzeklammspitze and Kirchlspitze, enjoying amazing views from the top of each of these 2.300-meter-plus peaks.
While no technical knowledge is required to climb this via ferrata, would-be climbers should be in fairly good physical condition as the trip takes between nine and 10 hours.
Previous experience is also helpful as parts of the via ferrata are a bit tricky
So what are you waiting for? Book now for an unforgettable via ferrata climbing experience along the Mittenwald ridge!

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.

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
