Hello everyone,

I am from California, and am moving to Vienna from October 1-December 24, 2019. I am seeking any help, advice, recommendations and climbing partners!

I am less capable in technical climbing and glacier travel, but am looking to explore in as many areas as possible and would appreciate any advice on where to start. Locations, websites, web forums, climbing communities, travel resources (ie. trains to locations from Vienna), etc.

Thank you in advance!
Jamie

Hi.

I happen to live in Vienna. The easiest way to get in touch with climbers/mountaineers is to join a branch of the Alpenverein. There are 6 branches (Sektionen) in Vienna:

Alpenverein Edelweiss 56.905
Alpenverein Austria 47.360
Alpenverein Gebirgsverein 25.049
Akademische Sektion Wien 3.345
Alpenverein Wien 2.862
Sektion Stuhlecker 218

I am a member of Akademische Sektion Wien. There are regular Meetings, Outings, Events etc. and it will be easy to find like minded People to go climbing with.

Cheers,

Matthias
