He has been raised there and is calling it the center of his life. Once Tobias is talking about his homevalley, the Tyrolean Ötztal, his eyes are starting to glow. He is living in the mountains and living with them. Climbing partners like Alex Blümel and Hansjörg Auer have been invaluable companions and jointly responsible for him to discover his passion for alpinism. We are both happy and very lucky to welcome Tobias Holzknecht in the AUSTRIALPIN-Team!
