#21 with Reiner Taglinger
Friday, 7 August, 2026
A life shaped by the mountains: Experienced mountain and ski guide Reiner Taglinger shares how his passion started early, growing up close to the Alps. What began as childhood curiosity soon became a deeper path through climbing, mountaineering, and the German Alpine Club.The conversation goes far beyond guiding itself. Reiner reflects on responsibility, risk management, mental strength, and how his profession has changed over the decades. One central topic is the impact of climate change: routes, seasons, and decisions in alpine terrain now require a different level of awareness and adaptation.He also opens up about family life, work-life balance, and a serious illness that forced him back to “ground zero” physically and mentally. Through it all, the mountains remained a teacher, a place of clarity, and a source of strength.An honest episode about experience, humility, change, and a lifelong connection to the mountains.
