July/August 2017: After spending some time in Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek, we drove to Karakol at Lake Issy-Kul. The next day jeeps brought us into the Tian Shan mountain range where we experienced an early drop-off due to a landslide that completely erased the driveway. This is where our trekking ... |
 | Backcountry skiing from Arolla to Zermatt
1. 05. 2018 22:31:02
During Easter break 2018 I was meant to do the 'Haute Route light' from Arolla to Zermatt by skis. Due to heavy snowfall and hence poor visibility and a very high risk of avelanches, our guide amended the course of the tour significantly (which was the right decision). Nevertheless, the tour was gre... |

 | Baltschieder Via Ferrata
3. 11. 2020 21:26:25
The Via Ferrata in Baltschieder Valley is a pretty long one, particularly getting there takes quite some time. Given the wild beauty of the valley, it's definitively worthwile taking this long tour. And after a total of 1650m elevation gain, the local white wine couldn't taste any better!... |

30. 11. 2020 23:49:26

 | Waxing - no more snow on the skins. 30% better glide properties - impregnate ski skins
20. 12. 2020 20:08:40
Ski skins need care. After some time, especially with wet snow, snow tends to stick to the skins. It's called stollen. In this video I show you how to re-impregnate your skins so the problem doesn't occur anymore.... |
 | the group decides | Ski tour Similaun 3.603m & Fineilspitze 3.514m (abort Fineilspitze)
25. 12. 2020 10:08:01
In spring 2020, we three did the ski tour to Similaun. Goal was to overnight at Similaunhütte and do Fineilspitze the next day. Unfortunately, due to weather, it didn't work out as bad weather was forecast. So goal was both in one day... which didn't happen. I would have liked to, but one group memb... |

1. 01. 2021 07:00:01
In the current Corona situation, it's not so easy to get to the 'big' mountains. That's why we decided to do a mountain that wouldn't necessarily be on my to-do list otherwise.... |

 | Ski tour Hoher Ifen in Kleinwalsertal, traverse with rappel and steep ascent
21. 02. 2021 07:00:08
The goal was the traverse from the north side via the passage through the steep gully up to the summit of Hoher Ifen. Then find the rappel point, which I found quite easily. 25m rappel there and ski down the south side. A great tour that shouldn't be underestimated.... |

20. 04. 2021 17:00:00

 | The tour where everything was needed | Hindelanger via ferrata in winter
16. 05. 2021 17:07:38
Already once this winter we considered doing the via ferrata. However, we knew that in Corona times without cable car it would be difficult. Now in May, this year still winter in the mountains, it wouldn't let me go. So start at 04.30 in Oberstdorf. By 8 we were at Nebelhorn. Soon we started on the ... |
 | Tajakopf and Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze, 2 via ferratas in one go in Zugspitz region

The tour starts at the valley station of Ehrwalder Almbahn. First a snappy via ferrata to Seebensee. Then continues via ferrata along Taja edge up to Tajakopf. And then the crown - traverse of Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze. Always nice 1-2 climbing without rope possible. But securing options always availab... |
 | Conditions mid June 21 - Mindelheimer via ferrata with adventurous descent, caution advised
20. 06. 2021 07:39:33
On June 12th we five ventured into the via ferrata. Basically easy by rating, but conditions unclear. It was about the snow. This winter there was extreme snowfall and even late into spring. Therefore we had ice axes and crampons on - and we needed them.... |
 | Tutorial | Shortening crampon straps
4. 07. 2021 14:10:30
Always these long straps on new crampons....they are always too long. Feels like even for shoe size 50+. But there's a solution. In this video I want to show you how to properly shorten the straps and best secure them so they don't flap around while walking.... |
 | Nadelgrat traverse via Selle, 4x4000 traverse, this tour I will never forget
17. 07. 2021 11:19:54
Start Bordierhütte high above St. Nikolaus. For us it was almost 1900m ascent and 3100m descent to the valley. We ascended to the ridge via Selle. That's the best alternative in my view next to Galenjoch ascent. The partially described ascent via Dirrujoch I don't recommend, even now that I've seen ... |

 | The test report what they can do and for what are they suitable? Durability | Petzl Irvis Hybrid
24. 12. 2021 15:00:02
The Petzl Irvis Hybrid crampons. The ultra-light crampons from Petzl. Exactly 560g the pair weighs - weighed on the scale. That's about 300g lighter than conventional steel crampons. The reason is clear - partly due to the cord instead of the bail, partly due to the aluminum heel part.... |
 | Powder snow at Furkapass, summit with impressive all-round view | Ski tour Pizzo Lucendro 2962m
21. 01. 2022 16:00:36
Furkapass - a brilliant touring area in Switzerland. We chose Pizzo Lucendro. On the ascent from Realp, the valley you enter is always in the shade. The closer you get to the summit, the closer to the sun. And at the latest on the summit you have a sunny panorama that leaves you speechless - but why... |

28. 05. 2022 10:20:25
We start in Engelberg, Switzerland, at the Brunnibahn valley station. Up we go from the valley towards Brunni Hütte. We're so early that we really don't meet anyone. When we reach Brunni Hütte, the cable car starts running. Most take this comfortable route. But we're well ahead of the others. First ... |
