This 3-day mountaineering workshop near Zell am See is perfect to learn the basics, staying at the Oberwalder hut. Join Andreas, IFMGA certified guide.

High

Description

Are you ready for your first mountaineering experience? Let me guide you around Zell am See, in Salzburg. There is much to learn if you want to feel comfortable and be safe in the mountains: this is your chance!

During three fantastics days, we will be in the area of the beautiful Grossglockner area. In fact, our base for the three days will be the Oberwalde hut. In my opinion it's the best high alpine base in the entire Eastern Alps.

There are so many spots to practice mountaineering in the surroundings! And the terrain is also very varied: snow, corn snow, rock and ice. The glaciated peaks of the Glockner group are waiting for us.

You will learn all the basics of the practice in this 3-day mountaineering workshop. For example, how to use the equipment and how to progress with and without crampons on the different terrains. You will learn climbing techniques particularly for glaciers. And also rescue techniques on glaciers.

Want to join me mountaineering in the Austrian Alps? Then wait no more, contact me! If you are looking for other activities in the mountains, I can also take you for via ferrata in Zell am See.

Mountain Guide

The mountains have always been a great part of my life. I was a youth leader of the Alpine Association of Zell am See, Bergrettungsmann, and completed the training as a ski and snowboard instructor. I studied meteorology because it can be very useful in mountaineering. My first trips took me to the Eastern Alps, around Piz Bernina and Biancogray. I also had the chance many times the amazing Mont Blanc range and the peaks around Chamonix. Finally, I got to practice in the high mountains of Bolivia and Chile.
I have really found my calling as a mountain guide. I am right where I always wanted to be. The smile on my clients' faces at the summit or after an intense ski day is so rewarding!
I am part of a team of local guides (Bergführer Zell am See Kaprun), all friends of mine, guys with whom I share the passion for the mountains. They are Markus B, Markus H and Gerald, all IFMGA certified guides. Our philosophy is "to know how to do something well is to enjoy it". Therefore, we always keep learning to give you the best experience.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Cami

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.
