Fear of heights training: for more serenity and safety at heights
Insecurity, dizziness and fear of heights when hiking, mountaineering, climbing and flying. Understanding, tackling and overcoming doubts and fear on the mountain.
Insecurity, vertigo and fear of heights can often be understood as an escalation of unnoticed or unknown warning signs. After all, nothing is more natural, useful and vital to human survival than respect and fear - be it in life in general or during activities such as hiking, mountaineering, climbing, paragliding or skydiving.
The primary purpose of guidance is to alleviate your discomfort - e.g. fear, trembling, weak knees, sweaty palms, palpitations, etc. - and to fulfill your individual concerns and goals. Fear turns from enemy to ally and you move freely in the terrain and in the air.
Individuality and discretion are reflected in both the modules and the methods used. There is no one-size-fits-all recipe - there is YOUR recipe.
What is included in your fear of heights training?
-
Module 1
During a 3-hour online session or in-person session in Stans, you’ll learn more about the psychological and neurological causes of dizziness and fear of heights. You’ll explore your individual reaction patterns—both on a physical and mental level. Becoming aware of what moves you internally—or what causes you to freeze—is a fundamental step. Together, we’ll develop personal strategies and practical exercises to combat stress and anxiety, which will help you deal with your challenges more confidently and freely.
-
Module 2
With a carefully selected set of exercises, you’ll continue training at home until you feel confident enough to apply what you’ve learned in the field. During this time, I’ll be available to answer your questions and address your concerns at any time—either in writing or by phone.
-
Module 3 (optional)
If dizziness and fear of heights have a mental-emotional origin, neuro-emotional desensitization of the reactions (e.g., fear) is recommended. The EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) method is primarily used for this purpose. This method enables you to break your reaction patterns thoroughly and permanently. The session lasts up to 2 hours. You can get more information about this by phone or in Module 1.
-
Module 4
A day of off-road training. You choose where to go—ideally to a place you’re familiar with and where you’ve already encountered challenges. Alternatively, I’d be happy to recommend a hike with sections that match your specific challenges. With tips, tricks, and plenty of patience, we’ll work our way through the route together and conquer even challenging key sections.
-
Module 5 (optional)
Advanced training in the field. Another full-day training session to deepen your skills. This time, we’ll go to a location that you find particularly challenging, or to a location I’ve chosen that’s unfamiliar to you.

Option 1 - Accompanied by your partner or a "mountain companion"
The presence of a life partner or a trusted hiking partner can be particularly helpful during the off-road modules. With appropriate behavior and the right words ("talk is silver, silence is golden"), they can positively support the process. This support is very welcome.
-
Option 2 - Accompaniment in a small group
If there are other people in your family or circle of friends who are also affected by a fear of heights or vertigo, joint training can be organized. If desired, a common denominator can be found to complete all or certain modules together. A separate offer will be made for small groups.
The following services are included in all modules: Preparations, workbook, further documentation, support during the entire process in writing or by telephone, expenses and transfer.
