Guide #49109
Dear Travellers, My name is Stefanie - born and raised in Munich - and I would love to take you out into the beautiful "Wanderland" close to Munich. Treat yourself to one of my hand-selected hiking tours in the Bavarian Alps with unforgettable views of the mountains and authentic food. My motto: Hike like a local! You have never hiked in the mountains before? No problem, I have tours planned out for every (fitness) level. You are more of a pro already? Let me know and we will work out a more challenging tour. Either way, let me worry about tedious tour and itinerary planning, weather conditions, good views and food. I will also treat you to lots of info on geology and the culture and history of this beautiful region during our hike. l have an MA in Language, Cultural and Business Studies (obtained in Germany, France and Scotland) and working with people from different cultural backgrounds has always been my passion. I caught a travel bug early in life which made (and still makes) me travel the world. So, (I like to think that) I know what a good tour requires. And as a trained hiking guide with excellent knowledge of the Bavarian Alpine region and its culture I know many paths off the beaten track. The Alps are strongly affected by climate change. So, in order to protect what I love I try to reduce the immediate impacts of my tours by relying on public transport and minimising the environmental effects of the hikes themselves. This also allows extra time to get to know each other and provide you with entertaining insights. However, I am also happy to arrange for tours with a private driver. Just let me know your requirements and we will work out the tour of your dreams! I am looking forward to taking you out for an unforgettable day soon! All the best, Stefanie - Mountain Hiking Guide (Bergwanderleiterin / Trainer C) - MA in Language, Cultural and Business Studies - BA Hons in International Management and Intercultural Studies I am not a licensed driver. Therefore, all my listed tours are conducted by train. However, I am happy to accompany you in your own vehicle or I can arrange for a vehicle and driver. Just let me know what you need and I will make it happen!

The Alpine day was one of the highlights of our trip. The trail went through mountain forests, wildflower covered meadows and alpine streams and waterfalls. The route was moderate, perfect for a day in the mountains. Along the way there are plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery or take photos. We enjoyed lunch at a mountain farm, found some courage to...

Thank you, Lisa! It really was a glorious day - and so quiet. Even I felt like I was on vacation :-)
Gorgeous guided walk! Stephanie knew all the best routes and tailored the day for what I was looking for and was able to do, along with knowing off-the-trail spots for a quiet lunch along the way. She met me at the Munich train station and we took the train to Garmisch together- the ride almost as rewarding as being out in it! Stephanie was a fast problem-solver and had...

Thank you for your kind words, Jennifer! And thanks for mentioning my contingency planning which only benefitted me asyou never used any of the rain gear yourself ;-) It was my pleasure and I am looking forward to when our paths may cross again!
A fantastic experience to get out in the mountains and enjoy sun and snow, and with an easy day trip that only a local would know. Stefanie is very experienced and has thought through everything that one can need to have on the hike or know about the area. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Mia! It was a great day and a perfect way to spend Boxing Day in glorious sunshine. We really got so lucky!
Stephanie did a wonderful job of providing a beautiful day of hiking for our family of 5. She adjusted the route (after providing us with options) due to closure of the monastery listed on the tour and was able to deliver a wonderful hike in "Sound of Music" worthy terrain. It really felt like we spent the day with a longtime friend that just happened to have great...

I love how you put this! Indeed, Sound of Music worthy it is - which I only verified myself after our tour by actually watching the movie (as it's not really a thing in Germany). But of course I had to see it after your beautiful review :-)
