Description

From short training exercises to several hundred meter long multi-pitch routes, this Val Pusteria 4-day ice climbing program is the perfect opportunity for you to improve your techniques as well as to sharpen your confidence!

I will organize this 4-day ice climbing program in the Italian Dolomites to suit each participant’s needs and desires. Thanks to the excellent ice conditions this place offers, climbers will be amazed to discover extremely varied climbing opportunities.

First, I’ll start by refreshing some basic knowledge and checking each participant’s experience. Then, I’ll continue by focusing on each climber’s individual improvement. Finally, during our last two days, I’ll guide you through larger ice falls where you will put into practice everything you have learned.

During the course, you´ll learn about safety on the ice and have the chance to improve your personal ice climbing skills. Also, you will practice top-roping and learn useful tactics for lead climbing. To participate in this program you will need some prior ice climbing experience. Also, you will need a good fitness level. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to make sure all climbers acquire and are able to apply the newly learned techniques.

Ready to explore the spectacular ice falls of Val Pusteria? Then send your request! I will make sure to accommodate to your wishes and needs.

About the guide

IFMGA/IVBV Certified mountain, ski and canyoning guide, member of DAV and VDBS mountaineering and sport climbing teaching and training team. I’ve been part of the VDBS team for the formation and training of German mountain guides for 20 years.

I started climbing at the age of 17. Since 1987 I am certified mountain guide and a passion has become a profession. I live in Scharnitz / Tyrol and I am leader of the moutaineering school Alpenwelt Karwendel in Mittenwald.
Ice climbing in norway, skitouring in morocco, rock climbing in cuba or high mountains in the himalaya - I like it to explore new areas around the world. I led a DAV training expedition for talented young mountaineers in the Tian Shan mountain range with climbing Khan Tengri and did several expeditions to the karakorum mountains and the himalayas.

As a full-time mountain guide, I feel at home in the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains as well as in the mountains and climbing areas worldwide. I am happy to accompany you as a guide to your desired goal!

Bernd was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful and really made us feel welcome and took us on an amazing adventure. His climbing coaching was top notch, and we learned a lot in the day. Even dropped us off in town afterwards all the way from the ice climbing location, which was over an hour drive. 10/10

Bernd was absolutely an amazing guide. Our plans in Germany got cancelled as our friend got Covid, so I reached out to Bernd on the 21st with just some ideas for the 24th. Not only did he plan the entire trip for us within a day, but he also provided us all the gear at no extra cost, including mountaineering boots, since we had no gear on us. Had a great day climbing; would highly recommend!

I would Highly recommend Bernd as a guide, he has Decades of experienced in mountaineering and alpining climbing and it shows. He adapted our plan quickly as the weather was very poor, so I still could get the experience needed.

Bernd went above and beyond on this trip, working with us and finding the best places to teach us multi-pitch climbing. He watched the weather to find the best locations for the given weather. He is an excellent mountaineer and taught us so much.

Bernd was very organised and an incredible guide. Bad weather meant the climb we wanted to do wasn't possible. He was flexible enough to take us to another location in the alps that was just as impressive and challenging but far better conditions .

The guide Bernd was terrific - very knowledgable, experienced and patient with our group of beginners. Even when the weather turned to the worse, he kept finding ways to make it enjoyable, safe and interesting for all of us. We had a great time. Communication with him prior to the trip was also very clear and easy. Highly recommended!

We booked Bernd to organise a day of top rope and lead climbing for our family who climb regularly indoors but are novices outdoors. Bernd asked the right questions and selected a perfect area for us to climb with a large number of routes of differing grades. Bernd gave us the right amount of instruction and guidance - we are already planning our next trip to Austria and will be repeat customers.
