About us
Off the Couch Munich is for people who enjoy doing things together - outdoors, active, and fun. We’re a group of internationals and open-minded locals who like spending time in the mountains and trying things that are just more fun with others - hiking, biking, hut weekends, pub games like darts or pool, laser tag, or the occasional city trip.
We keep things casual and real. No pressure to be super sporty - just come along, join in, and meet people who enjoy being out and about. If you’re into fresh air, good vibes, and shared experiences, you’ll feel at home here.
We're a new group building from the ground up, looking for a core crew of 10-20 people who actually show up regularly, not hundreds of passive members. If you're tired of flaky groups where nobody commits, this is for you. Small, intentional, and consistent.
