Dufourspitze, 13.-14.07.2024

The large amount of snow this season, the cool temperatures and the dry, clear air made this tour to the highest point in Switzerland a unique experience. I congratulate my guests on the Dufourspitze!

Bernina

Biancograt, 11.07.2024

The most beautiful ladder to heaven is one of the most impressive tours in the Alps. It challenges the alpine "universalist": rock and snow, narrow snow ridges and steep flanks - there is a bit of everything. Last but not least, a good dose…

Dolomites

March 17th-22nd 2019, Dolomites Haute Route

In this classic across the "fairy tale landscape", which was not marked by snow at the time of the tour, the "weather god" gave us 30 cm finest "champagne powder" just at the right moment (namely on the first day of the tour). The white splendor…

Once again from Chamonix to Zermatt - I have often been able to accompany clients from the Mont Blanc Group into the heart of the Valais Alps. It never becomes routine; on the contrary, conditions change, mountains change their face - it is…
