Aspirant Mountain Guide
Activities
Seasons often mix up. We can ski, ice climb and rock climbing in the same week. Contact me for ideas.
Ski touring and Freeride
Discover the beauty of the mountain in winter and early spring. Improve your technique on difficult snow and learn how to mitigate Avalanche risks and rescue your comrade.
Rock climbing
Modern and classic routes on limestone, dolomite and granite. Learn the basics, improve your confidence while leading. Learn how to crack climbing and place your own gear or how to escape from emergency situations.
Mountaineering
Ridges and mixed ground, usually in thinner air. This is where you combine stamina and technique with exposure.
Ice Climbing
Perhaps intimidating certainly fascinating. Learn how to swing your way up the blue ice sculptures or improve your technique on WI 4-5 and mixed ground.
My Mountain Guiding Philosophy
For me, mountain guiding is not only about reaching a summit.
It is about learning to move efficiently, safely, and confidently in complex terrain, while enjoying the beauty and simplicity of the alpine environment.
I value small groups, genuine experiences, and a thoughtful approach to the mountains.
