About this tour
This call is a short planning conversation about the Nordkette range rather than a filmed climb. I go through current conditions on the cable car and the trails above it, and we talk through what suits the time you have available. It stays a conversation rather than a live ride up the mountain.
We look at a map together on screen and I check what pace and altitude you are comfortable reaching before suggesting a plan. I send a short written note afterwards with the route we settled on.
This suits anyone planning to go up on their own and wanting current, local knowledge first. It also suits anyone deciding between the short mid-station trip and going all the way to the summit.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Innsbruck: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- We meet on Google Meet and the link comes with your booking. I trained as a mountain guide before I ever filmed anything, so I read the light and the cloud carefully before we start.
