Andreas Biberger, an IFMGA mountain guide, invites you to a 2-day ski touring course in the Lechtal Alps, ideal for beginners looking for a basic training.
2 Days
Jan, Feb
If you want to learn the basics of ski touring, this 2-day course in the Lechtal Alps is an ideal opportunity for you.
This is a great ski area near the South border between Austria and Germany. In fact there are many ski resorts in this place, offering different options to enjoy the winter season. I recommend it specially for beginners and families.
Inside the state of Tyrol, in Austria, you can also find the Lechtal valley, a beautiful alpine region.
During this trip, I’ll introduce you to the secrets of this fascinating sport. You’ll improve your walking and ski technique and learn the most important things about spotting. You’ll also learn how to deal with LVS equipment (to use in case of avalanche emergency). Besides, you’ll receive training on the correct traction systems, as well as deep snow techniques.
As for the physical conditions, you’ll just have to be prepared for a 2 to 4 hours ascent, around 800 and 1000 m.
If you are planning a trip to Austria and want to be a part of this ski touring course, please contact me. Maybe we can organize it for a weekend. I can assure it will be a great experience!
Material introduction, course training, small ski tour.
Theory evening: material knowledge, avalanche knowledge, tour planning.

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.
