15. 04. 2022 05:42:46
When the snow melts and variety calls, at the French-Swiss border near Vallorcine there is a sunny climbing crag with numerous multi-pitch routes that is no longer a secret tip here.... |
 | Impressions from the Via Ferrata (Nordgrat) | Mittaghorn
18. 07. 2021 06:52:39
A relatively easy via ferrata in Saas-Fee leads over the North Ridge to Mittaghorn then you stand on a beautiful panoramic summit at 3,144 m.The film provides impressions of the entire via ferrata. The approach from the intermediate station of the 'Alpinexpress' cable car is well marked and quite s... |
 | Beautiful viewpoint summit with very short via ferrata section | Almagellerhorn
20. 07. 2021 20:21:34
Almagellerhorn is a beautiful viewpoint peak south of Weißmies. An easy mountain tour with a small via ferrata episode, partly somewhat laborious through blocky terrain. Not much traffic on the way, and after about three hours you're at the summit.... |
 | Via Brudertunnel | Lamsenspitze
15. 08. 2021 19:42:39
Certainly one of the most popular peaks in Karwendel - at least particularly rewarding. Not too difficult, all harder passages secured with steel cable and via Brudertunnel and its via ferrata (B/C; beginner-friendly) with a real treat as approach. On a hot summer day, Brudertunnel offers real cooln... |
 | Normal route from the west | Arnplattenspitze
16. 08. 2021 18:34:58
The Arnspitzen stand beautifully in the landscape between Scharnitz and Leutasch, opposite Wetterstein. The traverse is very nice (among my videos there's a film from last year), but the ascent of Arnplattenspitze is also rewarding. Up in the rock ascent, there are now steel cables at the two critic... |
 | Taubenstein south ridge
18. 05. 2022 19:19:15
Playful little climb on the south ridge of Taubenstein - Difficulty probably II-, good free climbing for the experienced (not unsecured with children!); whoever enters right at the bottom of the south ridge needs rope protection for the first 15 m, there it's already at least IV!... |
 | Northwest ridge/Northeast ridge | Traverse via Ankelalm | Brecherspitz
20. 05. 2022 20:04:50
Brecherspitz - Beautiful in winter, beautiful in summer. Of course, from Firstalm up is common. The east ridge (nice, a bit of scrambling in between) less often. The route from Josephstal via Ankelalm I don't even know, but: nice. Up the northwest ridge and down the northeast ridge gives a nice trav... |
 | A solitary approach | Wallberg
5. 09. 2021 17:59:31
Alone on Wallberg on a sunny autumn Sunday? Impossible? - Possible, if you take an old trail to Bärenwand and then on to the summit. Completely alone on this sometimes barely findable trail, which is occasionally still maintained. Not suitable for children, it's a way for the ambitious mountain hike... |
 | Rosskopf & Seekarlspitze via ferratas
20. 09. 2021 13:40:57
A trip to the Rofangebirge - from the 5-summit via ferrata, two are shown here: Roßkopf and Seekarlspitze. Even on their own, a rewarding undertaking for a leisurely half day in the mountains.... |
 | Schinderkar, Bavarian Schinder, Tyrolean Schinder, descent east side to Valepp | Schinder
24. 10. 2021 19:17:57
Schinder circular tour - Schinder is a classic of the Munich home mountains and a very rewarding destination in autumn. Schinderkar on the ascent warms up, the hole before the notch excites and the wonderful distant view delights.... |
 | Ammergauer Kreuzspitze and Kreuzspitzerl (traverse)
1. 11. 2021 10:39:33
Make use of one of the last sunny autumn days? Why not on the highest peak of the Bavarian Ammergau? Kreuzspitze. From the north on the normal route to the summit structure, a varied, sweaty but easy mountain hike. At the summit ascent, the first scrambling spot is tricky for the less experienced, t... |
 | Relaxed hike to a nice alpine pasture with a view | Stoisser-Alm
11. 06. 2022 15:11:40
No more needs to be said than what's in the title. Two hours up, one down, and at the top ... whatever body and soul desire, you can stay on the alm as long as you like.... |
 | Riffelscharte
13. 06. 2022 14:17:47
From Eibsee to Riffelscharte, a mountain tour with great views. - We first went to the starts of the NW wall of Riffeltorkopf, but were a bit late and a rope team had just started in our line; so we skipped it and went up Riffelscharte on the normal route (without ropes). That's worthwhile too - but... |
 | From the South | Demeljoch & Zottenjoch
24. 11. 2021 17:49:24
Demeljoch and Zottenjoch in the Vorkarwendel from the south - First you have to cycle 6 km into the Bärental, then it's quite solitary over Niederleger and Hochleger to Demeljoch. There you meet a few people, especially those coming directly from Fall via the west side. A bit wild through narrow dwa... |
 | Ski Opening at Spitzingsee | Sutten
12. 12. 2021 18:53:43
Dream weather, good snow, short approach: So off we go for the first ski tour of this winter, up Sutten, down from Stümpfling towards Spitzingsee, up to Firstalmkessel and back to Sutten good snow, even powder to find, and if early enough, most of it with few people. Otherwise: Spitzingsee and well... |
 | Winter Hike from South | Scheinbergspitze
19. 12. 2021 18:39:22
Normally we do Scheinbergspitze in winter from north-east with touring skis reasonably tracked quite avalanche-safe (if you don't ski into the slope below the summit, which is wild slab territory anyway, the descent is safe too; there have been several avalanche accidents in the slope below the sum... |
 | Complete Traverse Lacherspitz-Wildalpjoch-Käserwand
1. 01. 2022 18:58:49
Often the complete traverse of Lacherspitz, Wildalpjoch and Käserwand is mentioned as the most beautiful mountain hike at Sudelfeld. But that's a matter of taste ... True however: this circular tour is a glorious half-day tour in sunshine, and if you start in good time, the path over east and south ... |
 | Via Ferrata | West Karwendelspitze
2. 07. 2022 20:43:05
West Karwendelspitze via ferrata prelude to Mittenwalder Höhenweg As an appetizer, you can do the via ferrata to West Karwendelspitze before crossing to the Mittenwalder Höhenweg.... |
 | From Karwendelbahn Southwards | Mittenwalder Höhenweg
3. 07. 2022 17:26:31
For many mountaineers, the Mittenwalder Höhenweg is a top-ten via ferrata and scenically that holds true. Repeatedly glorious deep views and grand panoramas into the Karwendel, across to Wetterstein and further into the Stubai and Zillertal Alps.... |
 | Christlumkopf
13. 01. 2022 16:45:15
Piste ski tour at Achensee First along the piste, then own ascent track. A rewarding easy ski tour at the gates of Munich, best to start early, then no counter-traffic on the lower piste section. If afterwards you ski from the summit to an alm just before the mid-station, have a coffee and go up th... |
 | From Kühtai, Ski Tour with Little Snow | Finstertaler Scharte
20. 01. 2022 09:47:10
From Kühtai to Finstertaler Reservoir and then into the back, Sulzkogel and Finstertaler Scharte are popular ski tours. Usually you find some powder slopes there too. Mid-January 2022 the reservoir has a lot of water and the slopes little snow that currently limits the fun of the otherwise nice tou... |
 | Brauneck via Florihütte
25. 01. 2022 16:30:53
Brauneck always a nice short tour again. Today via Flori-Hütte. Ascent track okay, sometimes a bit slippery. Around 11 the snow up top is already soft and if unlucky, the skins slip already. Piste for descent shortly after eleven still quite good. Conclusion: Always fun again, and who wonders: more... |
 | Relaxing Ski Tour at Achensee | To Juifen
28. 01. 2022 15:00:19
The ski tour to Juifen is really no secret tip, quite the opposite. Still, it's a rewarding, very comfortable tour that is at least fairly avalanche-safe to Lämpereralm with proper track laying. Currently the snow conditions are moderate and behind Lämpereralm it's quite wind-blown only worthwhile ... |
 | Entire West Ridge of Lagginhorn (new normal route)
14. 07. 2022 20:50:06
Since the small Laggingletscher is dying and completely overrun by scree, the entire west ridge is establishing itself as the new and easy normal ascent (sure-footed, free from vertigo and a bit experienced of course, and you feel the altitude too).... |
 | Lagginhorn Summit Panorama
16. 07. 2022 17:09:46
Recently the summit was in clouds, today we quickly went up again and here is the summit panorama for you.... |
 | Bodenschneid on Skis from the West
6. 02. 2022 16:14:58
Bodenschneid At the summit stands an impressive cross that almost justifies the ascent on its own. Okay, the view is also nice: From Wallberg to Großvenediger, at least. What else attracts? The clever west slope when the snow is right today it was: hard-packed base, a touch of powder on top excel... |
 | No Leipzig Book Fair 2022
10. 02. 2022 15:30:14
The Leipzig Book Fair 2022 was cancelled again. Shame - really a shame. Is a little reading here any consolation? Who knows - no substitute anyway.... |
 | Over Buuch on Skis to Spallagrat | Bernina
20. 02. 2022 15:38:12
Today a little appetizer for spring: If conditions are right, there's a dream ski tour on the only 4000er in the Eastern Alps - over Buuch and Spallagrat to Piz Bernina. Probably few glacier ski tours in the Eastern Alps have such an impressive ice and snow backdrop like Buuch. The pictures give onl... |
 | Tajatörl
27. 02. 2022 20:37:58
From Ehrwald to Tajatörl is a surprisingly beautiful tour, and ascending the first steep section more centrally through a depression is also avalanche-wise a fairly safe variant away from the steep summit cliffs of Vorderer Tajakopf. The upper cirque is rather relaxed before going to the upper Törl.... |
 | Who Wants to See Salbit in Under Ten Minutes | Salbit South Ridge Short
24. 07. 2022 16:52:04
Here is the short version of the Salbit South Ridge - for the hasty ones so to speak.But far under ten minutes is almost impossible ... I think anyway.... |
 | Fine Granite Climbing in 5th Grade | Tröimli at Susten Pass
26. 07. 2022 08:30:09
Anyone in the area wanting a shorter multi-pitch pleasure climb is just right at Pfriendle. Tröimli offers the best granite at manageable difficulty in 5th grade for the leisurely pleasure climber.... |
 | Highest Peak of Mangfall Mountains | Hinteres Sonnwendjoch
6. 03. 2022 20:00:08
No secret tip and no solitary tour - but even on a sunny Sunday you don't meet too many hikers. If you - like us - bypass the toll road far before ascending to Wildenkaralm, you do many kilometers but it's super relaxed uphill (a Sunday stroll!). From Wildenkaralm cross slopes almost along summer pa... |
 | Bleispitze (from Bichlbächle)
10. 03. 2022 19:18:12
Which ski tourer hasn't been tempted by the white Bleispitze right of Grubigstein when entering Ehrwald Basin looking west? Exactly - that's why Bleispitze isn't lonely on weekends. Of the two ascent options, from Bichlbächle it's more shaded, and with a small parking lot, often quieter. With good a... |
 | Brisengipfel
26. 03. 2022 20:26:38
Brisengipfel in Uri, a somewhat hidden mountain south of Lake Lucerne.... |
 | From Susten Pass to Ski Depot | Stössen
27. 03. 2022 17:33:11
A ski tour with still fine corn snow. A hotspot for Italian ski mountaineers - no secret tip. Still, everything spreads out at the top, only those going to the summit expect some congestion - we switched from skins to skiing just below the ski depot for dreamy spring corn.... |
 | Relaxed Mountain Hike at Furka | Nepali Highway
31. 07. 2022 16:06:46
If you need to recover from Hannibal ... go from Tiefenbach to Albert-Heim Hut, then to Sidelen Hut and down to Furka Road. A relaxed round with some animals along the way ...... |
 | Climbing in Bedretto (Piansecco) | Tanti Auguri
1. 08. 2022 08:00:06
Ticino, we're coming to your sun!South-side climbing feels like a vacation, so it can be a bit challenging for us leisurely pleasure climbers. Leading requires mastering 5c on granite, seconding is easier of course.... |
 | Finest Powder | Vallée Blanche
10. 04. 2022 18:50:17
Anyone who wants to enjoy a long glacier descent can't miss Vallée Blanche. From Aiguilles du Midi to Montenvers, a dream under good conditions. We had about 50 cm of fresh powder and some untracked lines.... |
 | To Tour Noir | Argentière Basin
12. 04. 2022 03:03:35
The ski tour into the Argentière Basin and beyond to Tour Noir is simply an 'eye feast' - you can't rave differently about the views of the jagged satellites of Mont Blanc: it's a visual treat! Whoever takes the small cabin lift up to Bochard (the Grand Montet top station is unreachable), reaches af... |
 | GansWoandersLast Words | Literature&Music
3. 05. 2022 08:58:47
For the literature friends among us, another snippet from the program at GansWoAnders on Easter Monday - JJ's experimental warm-up of the last words of my reading. So the film gets exciting after about 2 minutes, because JJ simply has a phenomenal voice.... |
 | Rotofenturm Normal Route | Sleeping Witch
3. 05. 2022 12:33:17
May is here! Where to? A nice destination for a half-day tour is the 'Sleeping Witch' near Reichenhall. A bit of hiking, a bit of scrambling, not too high, so feasible in May already. The climbing sections mostly 2nd grade, some spots a bit harder - often done without rope, but: safety first! So if ... |
 | Climbing Tour 'Ellmauer Tor' | Steinerne Rinne
13. 08. 2022 10:04:50
Here a climbing tour for leisurely climbers, like I am, in the grandiose landscape of the Wilder Kaiser. The 'Ellmauer Tor' tour is not really difficult, finds its way up the limestone slabs and water grooves in the 'Steinerne Rinne' and has a little climbing treat with the direct variant in the 8th... |
 | 'Airy Ridge' | Kreuzwandspitze
15. 08. 2022 19:24:21
Surprisingly compact rock on Kreuzwandspitze - the 'Luftige Kante' is beautiful again and again and also the easiest climb in the wall. 8 rope lengths on the ridge and one towards the summit, also a pleasure tour in a 3-person rope team - but not always secured in a pleasure manner.... |
 | Heimgarten and Herzogstand (from Schlehdorf)
27. 05. 2022 12:05:03
The ridge hike from Heimgarten to Herzogstand is one of the most beautiful mountain hikes in the Bavarian Alps for me. The path is not difficult and secured with a steel cable railing in some places, so also doable with slightly older children - it's a mountain hike. Many use the Herzogstand cable c... |
 | In the Realm of Ibex | Traverse from West to East | Benediktenwand
5. 06. 2022 15:21:03
Truly no insider tip - and not a half-day tour either. From Benediktbeuern to Benediktenwand and traverse already makes 24 km and good 1,200 m elevation gain. Fortunately, there's the Tutzinger Hütte for coffee, currant spritzer, buttermilk and whatever else the heart desires; the hut is dreamily lo... |
 | 9 Rope Lengths on Riffeltorkopf | The Mouse and the Tiger and the Beetle
19. 06. 2022 14:00:34
Beautiful 9-rope-length tour on Riffeltorkopf. Mostly 3rd and 4th grade terrain, in one variant 5, the difficult exit 6 (otherwise 3). Unfortunately not always reliable rock - rockfall hazard (especially if more rope teams are on the way!).... |

 | Kösseine and Rock Labyrinth | Fichtelgebirge
29. 08. 2022 12:28:09
When alpinists are drawn to the low mountain range: Then a peaceful hike in the rain with wonderful granite rocks emerges. The circular tour in the Fichtelgebirge with Kösseine and Felslabyrinth at Wunsiedel's Luisenburg is really something for the eyes and heart. - And at least in the rain very sol... |
 | Cozy Mountain Hike | Illing
8. 07. 2022 08:11:44
The south-west ridge of the Groß Illing is a nice climb in grade 4 (one pitch 5), but it should be reasonably dry. Otherwise, the path to Illing is simply a nice mountain hike, not particularly long you can of course add the Heimgarten.... |
