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

We drive by van to Emmetten, a small village, app. 25 km south of Lucerne. With the help of a ropeway, we get to the start of our snowshoe hike. Approx. 90 min and 400 mt. ascend lead us to the summit of Niederbauen, 1923 m, almost 1500 meters above Lake Lucerne. The panorama from this summit is just mindblowing. This peak can be reached at all seasons, in winter we use snowshoes to ease the ascent. Descending on the same route we reach in approx. 1 hour the Restaurant at the top station of the cable car. Here you can enjoy your lunch or in case we do this trip in the afternoon a coffee with a Gipfeli and the fantastic view over the lake. Observe as well the paragliders who frequently start here. We take the same ropeway back to our van. This snowshoe hike is feasible for beginners with a sportive Fitness. This hike is not technical challenging and there are no exposed sections.
