Description

Join me in this guided ascent to the impressive Olperer (3476 m), in the Zillertal Alps, in the state of Tyrol in Austria! This mountain is the main summit of the Tux Crest, also called Tuxer Hamm.

I will guide you safely to the summit and we will spend a great time. The starting points for the ascent is in Hintertux at the valley station of the glacier cable car. Equipment check and ascent with the gondola, where the actual tour starts at the mountain station of the Gefrorene Wand cable car.

This is a classic mountaineering tour, with a nice glacier hike combined with classic ridge climbing (up to grade III-) with a comfortable approach via cable car. First we have an easy traverse across the glacier to reach the Wildlahnerscharte (approximately 1 hour). Then, it proceeds over steep glacier ice to the North Ridge and along the ridge to the summit.

We will descent the same route, or do a traverse of the Olperer, depending on conditions.

The summit offers spectacular views! We will enjoy the sight of the surrounding peaks. Also, the sight of Brenner mountains.

Moreover, because of its prominenece over its nearby peaks, the Olperer is a popular viewing point. The panorama is amazing! The Hintertux Glacier, Grosser Möseler and the Hochfeiler will be just in front of us! Also, the Stubai and Ötztal Alps are just a stone’s throw away.

So, if you want to join me in this great ascent to the impressive Olperer, contact me! I will be happy to guide you along to its summit!

Mountain Guide

I grew up in Tyrol (Austria), fascinated by the mountains at a very young age. This led me to discover the world of climbing at the age of 10. I never would have imagined that I would become so enthralled by it.

I became a full certified IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain and Ski Guide at the age of 22. Since summer 2016 I have had the privilege of introducing you to the wonderful world of mountains.

Whether it's on my home mountains in Tyrol, the 4,000-meter peaks of the Alps, or in the mountains of the Himalayas, I will be happy to guide you!

Chris was excellent to have as our guide. He was very understanding in the moments we struggled on the snow and the rock climbing and constantly encouraged us. We felt very safe knowing he was with us and shared a lot about the mountains and the wildlife. Highly recommend

We had a great day with Chris. He was very knowledgeable and found a great spot which was suitable for the level of climbing we were capable of.

First of all our guide was not Christoph Gaber, we had Stephan Kecks who was superb. A really nice guy. Second you should have warned us about the bad conditions before we booked. There was not possible to do any off-pist/freeride skiing in Mayrhofen due to the bad conditions (It was just rock hard ice).
