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 57 years old and have more than 40 years of mountain and travel experience. I have guided many people, locals and tourists, here in Switzerland but also in Austria, France, Norway, Iceland, China or Spain 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 or neighbooring countries and I show you the right place! I am looking forward to make your stay in Switzerland comfortable, joyful and memorable!

Overview of your Zurich tour
Mount Titlis, with more than 3000 mt height is located close to famous mountain retreat Engelberg, only 1 hour from Lucerne. Several funiculars bring you to the summit Station from where you have an awesome view to many striking summits, such as Wetterhorn and Sustenhorn. Close to the summit station, there is one of the most thrilling attractions of Central Switzerland, TITLIS Cliff Walk, 3, 041 meters above sea level and 500 meters off the ground. After a fascinating stay in the world of ice, snow and rock you descend with the revolving funicular and have plenty of time to explore charming Engelberg with its shops, cheese factory and monastery. In the afternoon we explore Lucerne on foot in app. 3 hours. Located in the centre of Switzerland, on the shore of Lake Lucerne and right at the base of Pilatus Lucerne is definately the most scenic city of Switzerland. It gained its wealth due to the location on the trading route between Italy and Germany and many buildings give you an insight of the precious past.
