Hiking and trekking

Whether alone, as a couple or in a small group: I will guide you safely and individually through the most beautiful hiking regions in Switzerland. From quiet paths in the Jura to panoramic high-altitude trails in the Alps - I will tailor the tour to suit you.

Are you looking for a varied day hike or a route that is also suitable for children? I plan hikes with the right elevation gain, exciting intermediate destinations and safe paths - ideal for families and connoisseurs.

When trekking, you are on the road for several days. I plan tours with carefully selected accommodation, from comfortable to simple. You hike with light luggage and can count on a reliable organization.

On multi-day tours, we go into the mountains with the lightest possible luggage - consciously, reduced and well thought out. I help you in advance to know exactly what you really need and what you can leave at home.

I focus on good preparation and individual advice. This allows you to travel with a portable rucksack, move freely and enjoy the tour to the full - without unnecessary weight, but with everything you need.

I don't plan a standard tour. Your fitness level, your desired pace, your preferred landscape and your available days determine the route. Together we will develop your own personal hiking experience.

Steep ascents and descents are a challenge for many people. I will show you step by step how to use your body correctly, how to walk stably and how to get safely through different terrain - with and without hiking poles.

The right equipment makes all the difference. I will advise you personally on shoes, clothing, rucksack, poles and everything you need for your tour - tailored to your needs, your physique and your hiking destination.

Hiking is the classic form of getting around in nature, usually as a day trip, on marked hiking trails, over hills, through forests or along lakes. It is more than just exercise: Walking is one of the healthiest sports, as the study "Walking is medicine", from 2028, by ETH Zurich also shows. It strengthens the heart, circulation and psyche. You can download the "Walking is medicine" study here.

Trekking is a special form of hiking - lasting several days, with overnight stays and usually with a little more equipment in your rucksack. The routes are not necessarily more difficult, but it does require more planning. I organize trekking tours for you with overnight stays in huts, guesthouses or mountain hotels - no self-catering bivouacs. Whether it's a day hike or a multi-day tour, both are suitable for everyone - you just need to know what's good for you.

Yes - if you enjoy exercise, you're ready. I choose the route so that it suits your pace, your fitness level and your needs. It's not about athletic performance, but about the experience. Whether you prefer a leisurely hike across alpine meadows or enjoy jumping over scree fields - I will design your hiking experience so that you feel safe and comfortable.

I offer guided hikes throughout Switzerland. From the Jura to Ticino, from the Central Plateau to the high Alps. I know many less crowded but scenically impressive routes - ideal for circular hikes, family hikes or trekking days with overnight stays in mountain huts. I choose the region together with you, adapted to your wishes, travel duration and travel options.

The right equipment makes every hike more enjoyable and safer. I can help you choose the right hiking boots (soft or hard, depending on the terrain and your habits), clothing, rucksack size and accessories such as hiking poles. Many people walk with poles that are too long or used incorrectly. I will give you specific advice and show you how to make the best use of your equipment.

It all starts with a conversation: you tell me what you want - from a day trip to a multi-day hike. Then I suggest suitable routes, regions and accommodation. I'll take care of all the organizational details, including travel (by public transport or car), stage planning, accommodation and luggage recommendations. All you have to do is set off and set off on your hike.

Safety is always my top priority. My tours are planned professionally and with foresight. They are not canceled lightly. I only cancel a tour if there is an official danger report, e.g. if severe weather or storm warnings are announced.

In all other cases, I find a suitable alternative: this can be a shorter route, a better-protected section or even a relocation to another region of Switzerland, for example spontaneously to the south instead of the north, where the weather is more stable. Thanks to my experience and flexibility, we remain flexible - without risk and without stress.

Technique is crucial. I will show you step by step how to move safely up and down, regardless of the terrain. Hiking poles can be very helpful with heavy luggage or slippery ground. At the same time, it is important to use them correctly - if used incorrectly, they can cause you to fall. I will show you how to use them sensibly and also help you with the correct adjustment and choice of poles.

For all people who enjoy being outdoors - whether beginner, returning hiker, nature lover or experienced hiker. I deliberately work without pressure to perform and respond to your individual wishes. I also put together suitable tours for families, individuals or small groups. And for those who like to talk along the way, I also offer nature or hiking coaching.

The prices depend on duration, region, effort and your personal desired package. I work individually - so I will be happy to make you a tailor-made offer after a brief discussion. There are no fixed flat rates, but fair prices for personal support and careful planning.

Yes - many of my customers appreciate exactly that: a hike all to themselves. No group, no pressure to keep up, no comparisons. You get my full attention and an experience that is completely tailored to you. Whether you want to talk or prefer to walk in silence, I will adapt to you.
