The mountain guiding team of Flory Kern

Flory Kern

State-approved mountain and skiing guide, founder and director of Flory Kern Ski Berge Abenteuer. Out of season you sometimes come across Flory in the office, but once the season has started Flory loves to show the finest powder and the best freeride spots around the globe to his guests and friends.

Christoph Garber

Chris did spend his childhood in the beautiful Zillertaler mountains, however only at the age of 17 he discovered alpinism as his passion. Shortly after he decided to make a living out of his passion and got a state approved UIAGM mountain and ski guide at the age of 22 and therewith is one of the youngest guides of Austria. Chris is not just a great skier, but also a very open and positive person and we are very happy to welcome him to our team.

Andi Millinger

For more than 15 years Andi travels to the most remote skiareas and prefers to ski in places where no one else is. During spring time he usually guides in the high north of Norway in the Lyngen Alps and he is also involved in our heliski operations. If he is not skiing he likes to climb or bike.  All our clients love to ski with Andi, as its alway lots of fun.

Samuel Anthamatten

Sam Anthamatten is considered an exceptionally skilled mountain guide and ski guide, because he combines extreme high-alpine experience with calmness, precision, and a reliable instinct for conditions. He knows the Alps and mountain ranges around the world like very few others, moves confidently even in the most challenging terrain, and always gives his guests a strong sense of trust and safety. We greatly appreciate having Sam as part of our team.

Bernhard Freinademetz

Bernhard – also called Bezi – is the son of an “old” family of mountaineers. Right after he was able to walk on his own feet his family took him to the mountains. After spending so many years in the mountains Bezi was sure he wants to be a professional mountain guide. On top he founded www.jungle-productions.com, a company that is dedicated to outdoor photography and filming. Bezi is absolutely passionate about the mountains and for sure someone like him cannot miss in our team.

Emanuel Pali

Emi was born with mountaineering. He has been a passionate climber since he was a child and was always at the forefront of climbing competitions. As a young adult, he began working as a mechanical engineer and designer, but spent every free minute outdoors to recharge his batteries. Emi has lived in the Zillertal since 2011 and completed mountain rescue training there. In 2018 he decided to become a mountain guide and began his training. He has been a full-time mountain guide since 2021 and is part of our team. We and our guests appreciate his calm and patient nature and his pronounced safety awareness on the mountain.

Peter "Pete" Mühlburger

Pete is originally from Matrei in East Tyrol, but has made Innsbruck his home base for several years. Even as a child, he spent a lot of time in the mountains – often with his father, who spent a lot of time there as a mineralogist. Although Pete didn't follow his father's path, his passion for the mountains remained – and found expression in climbing and ski touring.

Since the age of 24, Pete has worked full-time as a mountain and ski guide. While completing his training as a state-certified mountain guide, he also studied education. For Pete, working as a mountain guide is a true dream job – especially because he finds it incredibly fulfilling to delight his guests with unforgettable mountain adventures and thereby put a smile on their faces.

Elisabeth "Lissi" Seibt

Lissi loves spending time in the mountains skiing. In addition to her passion for skiing and mountaineering, she has been a enthusiastic paraglider pilot for many years. We are very happy to have Lissi on our team. Her fun, uncomplicated, and spontaneous nature is particularly popular with our guests.

Robert Stöckel

Robert loves the mountains and the snow and is a bit of a globetrotter. He began working as a ski guide in Austria at a young age. He then moved to Canada, where he worked as a ski guide and freeride trainer for four years. Meanwhile, he trained to become a Canadian heli ski guide and avalanche technician. He then moved halfway around the world to Japan, where he worked as a backcountry ski guide for three winters and showed countless guests the legendary sushi powder. Eventually he moved back to the Alps and today Robi lives and works in Davos.

Manfred "Brandy" Brandacher

Brandy was born in Fügen in the Zillertal and has been skiing since he was three years old. At the age of 15 he switched to snowboarding and successfully participated in international competitions as a freestyle snowboarder for 10 years. It wasn't until he was in his twenties that he realized more and more that his true passion was freeriding and alpinism. So the training to become a mountain guide was obvious and today Brandy leads his guests through the mountains with a lot of fun and passion - whether on skis or on a board!

Wolfgang Schmid

Long before we became mountain guides, we were already skiing together as friends in Chamonix, tackling the steepest slopes. For years, Wolfi also served as Flory’s companion on many heli-skiing trips. Our guests particularly appreciate his calm and composed demeanor, coupled with his incredible experience in the mountains. Wolfi is equally at home on exotic ski trips in uncharted terrain—indeed, he led our pioneering expedition to China in the winter of 2026.

Alexander Lechner

Alex lives in Bad Ischl, in the heart of the Salzkammergut region. Since 2010, he has worked in the outdoor and guiding sectors as a ski instructor, canyoning guide, and rafting guide. From 2017 to 2020, he completed his training as a UIAGM certified mountain and ski guide in Austria. Alex is a passionate winter sports enthusiast and climber. In the summer, he spends most of his time on the Dachstein and in the Hohe Tauern mountains.

In the winter, he has already gained experience in Norway and Japan. He loves the challenge of searching for the best snow and sharing unique skiing and travel experiences with guests.

Alexander Blümel

Alex grew up in Mötz, a small village in the Austrian Inn Valley, and discovered the fascination for climbing and skiing at a very young age. After training as a communications engineer, he became a state-certified mountain guide at the age of 20 and continues to practice this profession with great passion and professionalism to this day. His job as a mountain guide has taken him halfway around the world; from Alaska to the Himalayas, he has already been able to fulfill numerous mountaineering dreams. In addition to extreme alpinism, Alex loves to experience wonderful days of skiing in the mountains with our guests.

Raphael Eiter

Raphael´s father and grandfather have been mountainguides and therefore it was clear to him pretty early that Raphael will be a mountainguide himself. With 23 years he was a UIAGM-mountainguide already and can look back on a lot of experience already despite his rather young age. He was working as a Heliskiguide in Canada for 3 years and is an excellent skier. Besides his high professional skills we really like his open and humorous character and we are happy to have him in our team.

Florian Hellberg

Flo is a multi talent. He likes anything that slides on snow, but mostly prefers to cruise down in deep powder on his skis. If he is not on skis you will find him climbing on some of the hardest routes of the Alps. As a certified physicist he also works in the institute of the DAV to test climbing materials. Flo is a highly accuarate and professional guide.

Johannes Jähn

Like so many other mountaineers Hannes discovered his passion for the alpine already when he was young. Born in 1982 and raised in Ellwangen, he already climbed many mountains of the Alps as a kid. When he was an adult he combined his studies with his mountain guiding courses. Though Hannes is an engineer, today he works as a full time professional mountain guide. He is based in Nesselwang in the beautiful moutains of the Allgäu, however most of his time he spends in the mighty peaks of the Western Alps. His big passion is freeriding and skitouring, however he is also always in for a rock-climbing trip! 

Christian Kohler

Christl Kohler lives in Klein Walsertal, right away he felt super comfortable in our guide team. He has proved his absolute professionality while guiding with us in unknown Heliski areas and this is where a guide can show his real skills.

Tim Knab

Tim is a licensed DIMB mountain bike guide and loves nothing more than exploring trails around the world on his mountain bike. He also has extensive experience on skis, having led hundreds of ski tours in the Alps, climbed the volcanoes of Chile, and accompanied us on numerous trips to Norway and the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Mountains. Thanks to his many years of travel experience and his degree in business administration, he meticulously organizes all our trips from the office and is always ready to assist our guests.
