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!

Fantastic tour with Andre. He met us on time and took us on an all day trip to the top of Europe - Jungfraujoch. We rode by train, cog train for uphill sections and gondola toward the top of the mountain. He allowed us to customize the trip (stops and time at stops) to our needs and liking. Andre was very personable and the 4 of us enjoyed meeting him and being in his company. He pointed out the best places to sit on the train for the best views and best comfort. He also knew the best areas to see and what to do and look for during each stop of our long day excursion. Highly recommend Andre as a tour guide. Very easy to customize what you want to do and see as he has been everywhere and can make recommendations based on personal preferences. Andre also gave us tips on what to bring for our trip to maximize our comfort on the journey.

Andre proved to be an excellent guide for this tour. As a climber himself he was able to add a lot of personal experience to descriptions of the Alps. Andre was warm and personable and delivered everything we could have wished for in a guide. We recommend him to other travellers to Switzerland.

Andre was our guide to Zermatt and the Matterhorn just two days prior and we were a little exhausted from that trip and were still recovering from altitude sickness. Fortunately, he was able to modify our itinerary and brought us to some of the most breathtaking spots in Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Gimmelwald and Interlaken. Since we decided not to go to Jungfraujoch, Andre instead brought us to the Trummelbach Falls (glacier waterfalls) that were absolutely stunning and unreal. The entire day was spectacular.

Recommend 100%! We spent 2 days with Andre seeing 2 different regions of Switzerland. It was spectacular! Logistically it was a lot of walking, trains, buses, etc. Andre maneuvered us from one transport to the next with ease. He's knowledgeable, easy to talk to and a super enjoyable travel guide. We will definitely book with him again and recommend him to anyone traveling to Switzerland.

Highly recommend a tour with Andre! It would be difficult to plan a hike without meeting the people you are taking first, but he did a great job of it. We got to see a lot of places we wouldn't have gone on our own and he is incredibly knowledgeable which made the day even more enjoyable. Definitely worth every dollar spent on this!

Andre is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide but more importantly he is genuinely interested in delivering a phenomenal experience. You can't go wrong spending time on one or more of his tours.
