Travelling can fulfill and enrich us if we take time to immerse ourselves with all our senses. I would like to offer you such experiences on my tours. Join me to discover the unique sound of the Swiss Alps. Almost twenty years ago I started to play the Swiss national instrument - the alphorn. Often I go for long hikes in the mountains with my horn in the backpack. I love to blow my sounds into the mountain landscape and listen to the echo. It is a magical feeling that I want to share with you. On my tours, I drive you to the most stunning places in the Alps. Each destination is hand-picked to provide you with an authentic Alpine experience away from the tourist hot spots. There I show you how your breath becomes music on an alphorn and the rock faces start to sing. Besides, there will always be time for a walk, a lunch break in a simple mountain restaurant, or a swim in a clear mountain lake. You won't just be taking postcard photos of the mountain landscape, you'll be part of it for a day! About me: I have had a long international career in the financial industry. When I realized that the sound of the mountains made me richer than all the money in the world, I quit. I then completed a continuing education degree in Music Research and have been offering Alphorn tours in the Swiss Alps since the summer of 2023. In addition, I maintain the largest international platform for Alphorn players. Together with my wife, I also enjoy sailing across the oceans.
