Your personal mountain guide in the Dolomites

On tour with your localc personal IFMGA mountain guide

Welcome to the Dolomites

The Dolomites are located in the northern Italian Alps and among the most beautiful mountain ranges in Europe. Many different outdoor activities invite to discover this stunning mountain landscape in South Tyrol.

Of course, the best and safest way to explore the Dolomites is with an experienced mountain guide.
As an independent and professional IFMGA mountain guide I can fully meet your personal needs: I plan your individual mountain tour and accompany you personally. My aspiration is to provide an authentic, safe and unique mountain experience in the Dolomites. My focus lies on off-piste tours and ski safari tours in winter and alpine climbing as well as via ferrata trips in summer.

Get a small taste of outdoor activities in the Dolomites, in northern Italy:

Summer mountaineering

The Dolomites are famous for their traditional climbing on vertical limestone walls. Furthermore 82 4000m peaks await high altitude climbers throughout the Alps and many different via ferratas ensure fun and adventure for the whole family.

Winter mountaineering

Ski safaris and backcountry tours are the most popular activities. But also snowshoe hikes and off-piste are suitable to explore the Dolomites during winter. On the contrary, adrenalin seekrers enjoy ice climbing on frozen waterfalls.

All this – and much more – awaits you here in the Dolomites, in the South Tyrolean mountains.
Have I aroused your interest? Send me your plans and wishes – I will do my best to find the perfect tour for you.

I look forward to accompanying you on your next adventure in the Dolomites,

Best wishes

About Me

My name is Helmut Kostner (born in 1977), I grew up in the mountains and have made my passion into my profession. I am a certified IFMGA mountain guide and work full-time the whole year round.

The small village Kastelruth is my hometown and the best starting point for different mountain adventures at the Alpe di Siusi, the Val Gardena and the Rosengarten. Generally speaking, the whole Dolomites mountain range is my favorite playground.

A mountain guide provides security

Above all, to be with a mountain guide means safety. I know my surroundings – the Dolomites – very well, so I can plan the apporopriate tour to meet your wishes and skills. Furthermore, I take the responsibility and I can react quickly to upcoming conditions.

A mountain guide takes care of the planning

Very important for a perfect mountain experience…

…is a good planning. You don’t have to search either for a parking area nor for the starting point of your tour. It is a special pleasure for me to show you the hidden places of the Dolomites, far away from the big masses. As I take care of all the arrangements, you can completely relax and look forward to your adventure.
Moreover, I provide the transport service, picking you up at the hotel and bringing you back afterwards. If needed, I can pass useful information about local attractions and accomodation.

A mountain guide as your partner and friend

Sometimes clients become close acquaintances or even friends. Fun evenings in the huts and long ascents spent together will strenghten our relationship by sharing our ideas.
It is my concern to listen to your wishes, goals and fears. Far away from any civilisation and without the distraction of our mobile devices, our talks and experiences will bring us wonderful new insights.
