Born and raised in the Pongau, with over 30 years of mountain experience. Coaching, to me, is more than bent knees and the right pole plant — I'll work with you on technique, terrain skills, and the confidence to ski lines you wouldn't have tried alone.
Stories from alpine life — tour tips, the perfect freeride recipe, and a look behind the mountain scenes.

Ein besonderes Dankeschön an die liebe Andrea. Sie hat es innerhalb von 3 Stunden geschafft, dass wir die darauffolgenden Tage mega Spaß am Skifahren hatten. Sie hatte immer Geduld und ist auf unsere individuellen Bedürfnisse eingegangen.I've gone ski touring and freeriding with Wolfgang several times. He showed me hot spots — gorgeous high-alpine landscapes off the beaten path, none of the usual ski-tour crowds. My powder technique improved massively. 100% recommend!Had a very good ski lesson from Hannes at the start of my skiing holiday. It was enough to last me the rest of the holiday. He has 20+ years of experience and gives very clear instructions and precise feedback.| 2 hours | €210 |
