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!

With the help of cogwheel train (depending on the season) and ropeway, we reach the mighty summit of Pilatus. Here you'll have time to explore the summit region, make the Dragon Trail and do some Shopping. We undertake a short and easy hike to Tomlishorn, the highest summit of the Group. Afterward, we descend by ropeway to Alpe Fräkmüntegg, from where we start our second hike downhill to cozy Alpe Unterlauenen. Here you won't meet other tourists and are for sure a bit off the beaten trail. Enjoy another great view of Mount Pilatus with its north face. After another 30 min walking, we reach the bus station in Eigenthal and bus no. 73 brings us then back to Lucerne. Highlights of this private tour: - using one of the most spectacular mountain ropeways in the world - using the steepest cogwheel train in the world (from the middle of May to middle of November) - enjoying fantastic views from Mount Pilatus and Tomlishorn to Eiger, Jungfrau and many other summits - visiting a typical Swiss Hut with farm animals.
Approximative schedule: Trip to Mount Pilatus Stay at Mount Pilatus and hike to Tomlishorn Hike the dragon trail Descend to Fräkmüntegg Hike to Alp Unterlauenen Stay at Alp Unterlauenen Hike to the bus station in Eigenthal By bus back to Lucern.
