Georg Bilgeri

Georg Bilgeri (11 October 1873 – 4 December 1934) was an officer in the Austro–Hungarian Army, mountaineer, and Austrian pioneer of skiing.

Bilgeri led military patrols in winter treks in the Zillertal Alps (1899) and to Kitzbühel (1905).

He was an officer of the World War I National Defense Command in Tyrol, leading the formation and training of the Mountain guide companies.

The first Alpine manual for the Austrian gendarmerie was published in 1927, which had been developed by Bilgeri and Colonel Josef Albert.
