You couldn't choose a better mountain for your premiere as a summiteer towards 3,000 meters plus. The 3,606 m high Similaun in the uppermost part of Ötztal lies on the border between North and South Tyrol and can only be reached by crossing an impressive glacier. Smugglers used to trudge along here, and "Ötzi's" path was also supposed to lead past Similaun. Today the mountain is your gate to the world of high alpine mountaineering – we will show you how.

You don't need any previous high alpine experience for this tour. Our specialists will teach you everything you need to know and be able to do to safely climb a three thousand meter high peak like Similaun. For example, special knot and rope techniques, correct crampons technique and how to cross a glacier field. All we expect from you is a good level of physical fitness. If you have a good basic level of stamina and endurance, are sure-footed, have a good head for heights and are highly motivated, nothing stands in the way of your first real three thousand meter peak.
