After more than two decades of full-time guiding around the world, I have met so many interesting people with whom I had the privilege to share these mountain adventures. Good times were had, fine company enjoyed, stories shared and many a friendship has evolved out of these adventures. Thank you!
“Markus was professional, highly skilled and proficient. I felt safe and confident with all aspects of our climbing experience. Knowing that I was a novice, Markus was reassuring with me during every phase of the climb.”
“...you bring true meaning to ‘professional guides’.”
“I like the ability to learn, not just be guided which AWA provides.”
“My AWA experience was amazing. I was impressed not only with the professionalism of the guide, but also by the flexibility of traveling with a small company adjusting plans on the fly to suit my needs and ability, weather, route conditions, etc.”
“I would trust Markus to guide not only myself, but also my children and my clients. I have known enough guides and know enough about technical climbing and backcountry skiing to recognize that Markus is one of the top in his field. His experience comes from guiding 100% of the time for a living- he is simply an absolute professional who constantly makes the right choices, who is also personable and fun to hang out with for the duration of your experience, local or internationally.”
“I love climbing with Markus because he challenges me to push my personal limits without worrying about my safety. I get better each time I climb with him.”
“I just wanted to thank you again for a great avalanche course. You folks provide exceptional instruction, and most importantly, your passion for skiing and teaching is evident. Back at work today, I realized how much I learned from you guys, not just information, but also from your passion, demeanor, and patience. I also realized today that your passion for what you do reinvigorated me, and gave me a great new perspective on what i do. Life is good! ”
“The professionalism, expertise, teaching skills, and experience of the instructors is what makes AWA so special. My expectations were by far exceeded and i will recommend your avalanche safety program to anyone in a heart beat.”
