Join Andreas, an IFMGA mountain guide, for a 2-day alpine climbing course in the Oberreintal, one of the best climbing areas in Germany.
2 Days
Jun - Sep
Do you want to start alpine climbing? This 2-day course in the Oberreintal is just for you! In fact, this small and remote valley near Garmisch, in Germany, is one of the best rock climbing spots in the country.
I like it very much because it has a lot of history. Climbers began to come here in 1920 and everything still looks like in the past.
It has some classic climbing routes like ‘Gonda‘ and ‘Schober‘, which are VI grade tours. However, only a few people come to this area.
The starting point of this climbing course will be the Franz-Fischer-Hütte, a small mountain hut at 1532 m, that has been visited by several well-known climbers in the past.
We’ll be climbing among level III to IV routes (or even higher), on solid and rough limestone rocks.
Besides, you’ll receive a complete training, including security techniques, stand construction, how to plan a climbing tour, technical equipment knowledge, abseiling and how to improvise a rescue in the mountain (rope extension, techniques).
The first day of the itinerary will be all for training. On the second day we’ll go on a climbing tour to Milka, the lower mountain ghost tower (IV) or maybe to Oberreintallturm-Westwand Radlkante (V-).
I recommend this place for a short climbing trip during a weekend. You also have to consider there’s a 2 to 3 hours hike to the hut.
Please contact me if you want to start alpine climbing in this amazing German spot. I will be very happy to be your guide there!

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.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
