Summer

As a child, I went on some mountain adventures with my parents, but after that I hadn’t been back for a long time. Inline skating and video games were more important to me back then. Then, in my mid-twenties, I was inspired to get back into nature thanks to a video I saw on the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. Since then, I’ve gotten into running, hiking and scrambling in the mountains. I prefer adventuring closer to home – around Königsee or in the Berchtesgaden Alps. It doesn’t always have to be fast and far, because what counts is the experience.

Altitude training – basics, tips and when it’s worth it

If you’ve already conquered a mountain, then you’ve probably heard this sentence before: “Whew, the air is getting thin up here…” This isn’t noticeable on a classic hill walk or via ferrata but you’ll notice it whilst mountaineering at altitudes between 3,000 and 4,000 metres. The air isn’t necessarily getting “thin”, but rather the number […]
