Your professional resource for mountain knowledge.

Learn it the right way - Learn it from the Pros! Mountain expertise you can trust. As a lifelong mountain traveler and professional mountain guide, I possess the knowledge and experience to teach you the proper skills you need to get out on your own and to bring you to the next level. All my courses are hands-on and fun, challenging but never overwhelming and taught outdoors in small class sizes to maximize your experience. My backyard, the most impressive alpine peaks around Zermatt, Switzerland, offers easy access to perfect terrain for any kind of course work. While I do offer some pre-scheduled courses, all mountain instructions are typically provided as a custom-designed private arrangement, tailored to meet your specific objectives and time frame. I put a lot of thought into developing a most effective personalized course progression for each discipline, creating a most efficient learning environment. Whatever your objectives: Let me teach you the skills you need to safely and effectively travel the mountains on your own.

Providing top-quality mountain skills instruction since 2000, I am proud to be offering my expertise to a broad clientele ranging from weekend warriors, beginners to experienced mountain hard (wo)men, Schools and Youth organizations, aspiring Guides, avalanche safety and SAR personnel to US Coast Guard and US Armed Forces.
