Born in the central part of Germany, I started with my parents hiking all over Europa while other kids laid at the beach. Soon as Teenager I was keen to achieve more and learned climbing and alpinism at the German Alpine Club. More than 15 years ago I decided to move to Switzerland, not for tax reason, but to be closer to the Alpes and thus being more flexible to cope with weather changes and alpine conditions. Now I am 55 years old and have almost 40 years of mountain and travel experience. I have guided many people, locals and tourists, here in Switzerland on snowshoes, ski, grampons and hiking boots. Furthermore, I am also course leader and guide for snowshoeing, alpine routes, trekking and via ferratas for the section Pilatus of the Swiss Alpine Club. Lucerne is my home base and from here I have explored all parts of Switzerland, from Ticino to Valais and Engadina. I know Central Switzerland very well and can show you attractive places in nature or cities. If you prefer we explore places away from the tourists' crowds, but if you are here for the first time you maybe would like to see the standard sights. I am very open to offer you tailor-made excursions, no matter if you are families or couples, colleagues or friends, naturalists, hikers or alpinists, photographers. Let me know your dream how to explore Switzerland and I show you the right place! I am looking forward to make your stay in Switzerland comfortable, joyful and memorable!

Overview of your Lucerne tour

With the help of public transport and a Gondola, we reach the start of our hike, Melchsee-Frutt an alpine hamlet at the shore of Melchsee (see= lake). Our hike follows slight ups and downs over good trails via Tannsee to Engstligenalp. At either Tannsee or Engstligenalp, we can have lunch in the huts. From Engstligenalp we can either follow the trail to Jochpass or take the chairlift to the pass. Good views of peaks like Titlis, Wetterhorn, and Finsteraarhorn are granted. From Jochpass we can take the chairlift down to marvelous Trübsee. A gondola brings us down to Engelberg, the famous mountain village with a mighty monastery and cheese production facility. By train, we will return to Lucerne Highlights of this private tour: - fantastic views of glaciated peaks in the distance - blue-green lakes with great fotoshooting possibilities - huts with delicious, local food - Engelberg, a famous ski resort with a nice village center and monastery The tour is normally feasible from the 15th of June to the 15th
