Our snowy hike with Cosmin was an absolute joy. He's not only a funny and friendly person, but also an experienced hiker, with whom I felt super safe with. I can nothing but recommend him as a guide!

Overview
The winter ascent of Hochmiesing from Gaitau is a peaceful alpine tour through snow-laden forests and wide mountain terrain.
Starting in the quiet valley of Gaitau, the route is opening up to the winter scenery as you gain height.
The summit of Hochmiesing (1,883 m) offers a stunning reward: clear views across the Mangfall Mountains, Wendelstein, and far into the Alpine foothills.
A classic winter hike for the hikers who appreciate solitude, crisp mountain air, and authentic Bavarian winter landscapes.

About your guide: Cosmin Mihoreanu - certified UIMLA Bergwanderführer (Mountain Leader)
Since 2019, I’ve guided over 100 hikes that I personally organized, accompanying international visitors and guests through some of the most stunning landscapes—especially in Germany’s Bavarian Alps and across the beautiful Austrian Alps.
As a guide, I’m highly attentive and safety-oriented, ensuring that my guests feel confident and supported on the trail. I’m also deeply committed to protecting the environment, doing my best to minimize our impact and promote responsible hiking practices.
In addition, I am a certified NLP communication trainer and coach. This allows me to support individuals not only physically but also mentally and emotionally during our outdoor experiences. Using psychological NLP methods, I’ve helped several clients overcome their fear of heights and gain greater confidence in alpine terrain.
