I am a professionally certified mountain and ski guide. Since childhood, I have nurtured a passion for the beauty of the alpine landscape, which has inspired me to embark on journeys of discovery in the mountains.
To deepen my knowledge and skills, I completed comprehensive training and obtained the state-certified title of a mountain and ski guide. During this intensive training, I learned everything necessary to safely lead my clients through the mountains, from alpine hazards and rescue techniques to navigation, snow and avalanche knowledge, as well as first aid. I am well-prepared to provide you with an unforgettable mountain adventure.
Whether it's climbing a peak, undertaking a challenging ski tour or simply enjoying the tranquillity and beauty of nature, I tailor-make my tours to help you achieve your personal mountain goal.
As an experienced mountain guide, I know the mountains like the back of my hand. Over the years, I have acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the different mountain regions, their routes, the weather, the flora and fauna as well as the history. I am happy to share this knowledge and impart not only the technical skills but also my deep understanding of the beauty and fascination of the mountain world.
Before each tour, I carry out a thorough risk analysis and adjust the route accordingly. I know the potential dangers in the mountains. Safety is my top priority!
The mountains are my home and I would like to share my enthusiasm with you!
