What we’re about
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.
Off the Couch Munich ist für alle, die gerne gemeinsam aktiv sind - draußen, locker und mit Spaß an der Sache. Wir sind eine Gruppe aus internationalen Leuten und offenen Münchner*innen, die gerne Zeit in den Bergen verbringen und Aktivitäten teilen, die zusammen einfach mehr Spaß machen - wandern, biken, Hütten-Wochenenden, Kneipenspiele wie Billard oder Dart, Lasertag oder auch mal ein Städtetrip.
Der Fokus liegt auf aktiven Treffen mit entspannter Stimmung. Kein Leistungsdruck - einfach mitkommen, mitmachen und neue Leute kennenlernen, die gerne draußen unterwegs sind. Wer Lust auf frische Luft und gute Gesellschaft hat, ist hier genau richtig.
