From 1957 he practiced in Roland Riz's office in Bolzano , and in 1959 he was admitted to the bar. As a criminal defense attorney, Gamper, married since 1963 and the father of four children, was involved in several lawsuits relating to the BAS . In addition, he was politically involved in the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP). In 1960 he was elected to the local council of Ulten, and from 1962 to 1964 he was the mayor of his home community. From 1969 the long-time chairman of the SVP local group Bolzano-Zentrum was vice-mayor of the city of Bozen. In 1973 he resigned from his local political office and successfully ran for the South Tyrolean state parliament and thus at the same time for the regional council of Trentino-South Tyrol .

Less than two months after being re-elected in the 1979 parliamentary elections , he died while hiking near the Brixner Hütte on the Pfunderer Höhenweg . A memorial stone has been there to commemorate the politician since 1982.
