Arlberg 4-day guided freetouring ski

Enjoy 4 days of freetouring ski in Arlberg, one of the best ski area in Austria, together with Andreas, an IFMGA mountain guide.

4 Days

Jan - Mar

Description

Join me for a 4-day ski trip practicing freetouring (a mix between ski touring and freeriding) in Arlberg.

Arlberg is a traditional ski resort of Austria formed by five small alpine villages. It combines almost 280 km of marked ski slopes with 180 km of deep-snow runs.

In fact, it was in this place (most precisely at St Anton) where the legend ski instructor Hannes Schneider developed his famous technique, known as ‘Arlberg technique’.

During this freetouring trip, we’ll ski in different areas like Sonnenkopf, St Anton, Warth and Rendl, looking for the best slopes. We’ll combine skis and lifts in order to avoid the crowds which are common in ski resorts.

Furthermore, if the weather conditions are good, we’ll visit different ice capped peaks like Zeissladspitze, Gamskarspitze, Kaltenberg and Kreuzjochspitze, among others.

It is important that you are able to ski safely in all snow conditions. You’ll also have to be in a good shape. We’ll be climbing between 2 or 3 hours each day, so you’ll need crampons for the ascent.

Are you planning a trip to Austria? Please contact me and let’s go for some exciting freetouring! I will be happy to show you my favorite spots around Arlberg.

About the guide

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.
