Save our alpine Infrastructure!

Italian hitchThe Austrian Alpine Societies call to action! A petition was set up to raise signatures for an increase of government money spent on alpine infrastructure, like mountain huts and trails. It takes an amazing amount of money to maintain huts and trails high up in the mountains.

If you like mountain hiking or mounteneering, it’s time to act now! Sign the petition at:

During several years of maintaining alpine paths and trails up to an altitude of 3000m, I learned how much effort it takes to keep alpine infrastructure in a safe and working condition.

Iceland Explorer Tour 2022

Kratersee im nördlichen Island.
Crater lake in northern Iceland

In the course of an exploration tour I led together with Harald Hois, we managed to visit remote places. We had the chance to dive at rarely visited spectacular sites and even managed to do a first-time dive in a remote northern crater lake.

Due to the guiding, I didn’t take much photos during this trip but modeled under water for Harald Hois. I will show pictures of the trip in a few weeks in my gallery.
