Reiter was born in Munich. He started ski mountaineering in 2001, and competed for the first time in 2006. He currently lives in Bad Reichenhall, where he visited the Karlsgymnasium. He studies mathematics and biology at the University of Salzburg.

In 2015/2016, he had to take a break due to chronic plantar tendinitis and took up sports photography. Today he accompanies trail running competitions as a photographer and is involved in the family business that produces sustainable clothing. Together with the Spanish photographer Jordi Saragossa, he founded Adventure Bakery, an agency for image content around trail running and mountain sports.

In 2023, he left Salomon and began to work for the Canadian brand Arc'teryx.

Among his sports projects was the crossing of the Alps skiing and running from Vienna to Nice in 36 days (Red Bull Der Lange Weg), and the speed record at the Watzmann east flank in 1:52:55 h in 2018.
