After selecting 1-2 players and moving past the main screen with the mountains and elevations the game begins. The player must climb the side of each mountain and make it to the summit in the allotted time.
Obstacles placed in the alpinerAlpiner's way include falling rocks, wild animals, trees, and brush fires that must be avoided to continue up the mountain. In level 7 the avalanche obstacle is introduced and in level 13 the Ice Falls. Being hit by obstacles will result in sliding down the mountain, some further than others. If the Alpiner slides all the way down the mountain one of the lives is lost. The game awards an extra life after the end of each round of six mountains, after reaching the top of Mount Everest.
There are 18 levels in the game divided into 3 rounds, the player must climb each of the six mountains successfully to continue on to the next round.
