Ice climbing course I, Pitztal, Jan 4th-6th 2018

Thanks to the cold in December, the Pitztal icefalls were able to build up very well and withstood the heat surge at the beginning of 2018. The Lubisbodenfall in Stillebach, the Kitzgartenschlucht at Wiese and last but not least the Fallebachfall…

August 3rd 2019: Salbitschijen South Ridge

It is a logical line that leads over the south ridge on the 2981 m high Salbitschijen in Uri Land. In about 20 pitches you climb the imposing granite obelisk, taking advantage of splendid cracks and dihedrals, climbing over rough slabs, proceeding…

July 28th to 31st 2019: Granite Climbing – Pizzo Badile Northeast Face

So powerful, aloof and smooth, it appears to the viewer: the northeast face of Pizzo Badile in Bergell. It is all the more astonishing that the first-time climbers have found their way through this seemingly unstructured bulwark of compact granite.…

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…

Valais Alps

April 7th-13th 2019, Classic Haute Route

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…

Hautes-Alpes

April 14th-20th 2019, On Backcountry Skis across the Dauphine

Incredible weather luck we had at this year's Dauphine crossing. Both ascents and descents are steep and demanding. The firn is a must here, because if the snow is too hard, many downhills are almost impossible. Also too much snow is suboptimal;…

Weisshorn North-Ridge, July 31st 2018

What a mountain! The line of the north ridge, which can hardly be surpassed in boldness and elegance, runs razor-sharp to its highest point. An opportunity to climb this line is not very often; only when the rocks are clear of snow, but the…

Valais Alps

Matterhorn, 5th of August 2018

Once again a beautiful summit experience with a happy guest on the Matterhorn. The pictures speak for themselves.

Berner Alps

Blümlisalp Traversing, 26th of July 2018

For me it was the first time that I had the opportunity to take a tour in this corner of the Bernese Oberland. The landscape off the well-known Bernese peaks inspired me: daring, glacier-covered Limestone-3000ers, which surround the beautiful…
