Private mountain and ski guide:in

What an undertaking! We don't want to bring up Hannibal again, but crossing the Alps is and remains something very special. Especially on skis and when the ascents are limited. The maximum ascent per day is 2 hours, but this is definitely worth it in view of the descents. Right next to the Bavarian foothills of the Alps...

Freeriding in the Dolomites and then also as a traverse? That sounds presumptuous. But thanks to the lifts and cable cars of Dolomiti Superski, this is one of the best high alpine ski crossings in the Alps. The ascents are surprisingly short and the descents long and exciting. You start with your guide directly at the foot of the Dolomite Matterhorn, the...

The descent over the "Neue Welt" is unparalleled in the Alps and is only suitable for ski experts with strong nerves. You will need to assess your skiing skills carefully, as the 45° gradient in the exposed terrain requires not only excellent but also safe skiing technique. The rock bar with the vertical abseiling point gives the tour a...

North of Lofoten and south of the Lyngen Alps, Senja offers a mountain landscape that is second to none, especially in spring.

The Schmirntal is a side valley of the Brenner Pass and is separated from the well-known Zillertal "only" by a few peaks such as Kaserer or Olperer. Never heard of it? That's what insider tips are all about. Instead, fantastic ski tours await you through sparse high forests, free powder slopes and to lonely touring peaks. Another highlight is the Vivalpin base at the end of the valley in Padaun on...

Similaun (3,599 m), Weißkugel (3,739 m) and Wildspitze (3,774 m) are among the highest peaks in Tyrol. And what's more: they can be skied side by side in a unique ski traverse. In between, you can expect high alpine crossings, extensive glaciers and always fantastic skiing terrain. The bases also fit in well: particularly hospitable and with the best Tyrolean cuisine...

Risk management on ski and snowshoe tours is essential for assessing the dangers in the high mountains in winter. VIVALPIN has been organizing avalanche courses for freeriders, ski tourers, snowboarders and snowshoers for 20 years. You will be taught and trained by absolute experts such as Sepp Hümmer.

If you want to improve your skills and knowledge, where better than with a ski touring pro on a high alpine ski tour? The Wildspitze, at 3,764 m the highest peak in Tyrol, offers everything that makes a real high-alpine ski tour: flat and steep slopes, glaciers, different slope positions, an exposed summit ridge and, of course, a fantastic summit. Not without...

In spring, you will find ideal conditions for ski tours on both sides of the weather divide on the Julier Pass. Just a few kilometers from the Engadin, countless ski touring peaks await you. Roccabella, Piz Turba or Piz Grevasalvas don't sound very spectacular, but a ski touring mountain doesn't have to be. Rather, it needs slopes with the "right" gradient and exposure, sufficient snow and, as a...
