Benedikt "Benni" Purner

Benedikt is a true allrounder: As an ice climber, he’s been one of the best for a long time now. The same goes for downhill mountain biking. Also, over the years, doing long winter traverses has become his passion. In winter 2015 he completed the first solo traverse of the Gleirsch-Halltalkette in Karwendel. This traverse took three long, taxing days and ended in the realization of his long-time dream. Born in 1982 in Innsbruck, the Tyrolean has been part of the AUSTRIALPIN team since 2008.
