Alpine Club Vienna
|
The Alpine Club Vienna – a
branch of the Alpine
Federation OEAV, Section Austria – is
a club that provides English speaking people
living in Vienna to “get outside and get
involved” in Austria. The group was founded
in 1995, bringing together two groups of
people. Non natives to Austria whose German
is not quite where they would like it to
be, and Natives of Austria who enjoy an
English Speaking Club. In a true win-win
situation, these two sides meet and explore
what the Alpine environment offers, mutually
sharing a love and commitment to the outdoors.
Regular meetings and events are the backbone
of the club, and spontaneous events add even
more opportunities to get outside and get
involved. The club is formed from 100% volunteers
and works with a “friends inviting friends” guiding
principle. We are not tour guides, and we
do not offer our services for a fee. However,
we can bring you into contact with individuals
who do just this.
Each leader agrees to lead one or more events throughout the year. They plan it, and share their experience with the rest of us. |

FEBRUARY MEETING & PRESENTATION
Ski Touring Silvretta and Avalanche Issues
By: Michael Merstallinger – UIAGM certified Mountain Guide
Early 2009 Michael along with his group set out from Vienna for a long-time planned fun ski touring trip. Mother Nature made her own plans, which seemingly included trying to spoil some of the fun. However, there were some beautiful sunny days with fantastic powder skiing. Michael has spent many years in the mountains learning and guiding. Enjoy his casual style narrating the scenery and challenges on this tour. Additionally he will show a few pictures from last year’s “Avalanche Awareness” course to give you an idea of what to expect in this year's course.

Matterhorn
By: Csaba Gabor
Located on the Swiss-Italian border about 1100 km. from Vienna, the Matterhorn, possibly the world's most recognizable mountain, lies within the densest collection of 4000+ meter peaks in Europe. Csaba drove there at the end of August to climb the peak, and he'll recount the details and logistics. In addition to the climbing, he will also talk about some of the hiking opportunities in this wonderful area.
