Glacier & Mountaineering Courses in South Tyrol

Gain confidence on ice and snow – alpine training with a certified mountain guide

Moving safely on glaciers and high alpine terrain requires more than fitness – it takes knowledge, technique, and confidence. Our glacier and mountaineering courses in South Tyrol provide exactly that: hands-on, practical training led by an experienced, certified mountain guide.

In small groups, participants learn the correct use of crampons, ice axe, and rope techniques, as well as essential skills such as crevasse rescue, belaying, self-arrest, and navigation on snow and ice. Each course focuses on safety, teamwork, and efficient movement in glaciated terrain.

The training usually takes place from a mountain hut in the high Alps, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Dolomites and the Ötztal Alps. The course combines theoretical lessons with practical exercises directly on the glacier – ensuring that every technique is learned and applied in real alpine conditions.

Depending on your experience level, duration, and personal goals, the intensity and content of the course can be tailored individually. Whether you join a weekend introduction or a multi-day intensive program, every mountaineering course is designed to prepare you for future alpine challenges.

A mountaineering course in South Tyrol offers the perfect foundation for your next glacier and high-altitude adventures – from the Ortler Alps to the 3,000- and 4,000-meter peaks across the Alps and beyond. With expert guidance, you’ll gain the confidence and skills for safe and successful climbs.
