Growing up in Villach, the mountains were always more than just a backdrop for me - they were my playground, a place to learn and ultimately my home. The nature on my doorstep has shaped my passion for being on the move: first hiking and climbing, until ski touring finally developed into my greatest passion. My love of skiing combines perfectly with the need to be out in nature and explore new mountains and landscapes.

During my psychology studies in Vienna, I began to understand how closely external movement and internal processes are interwoven. I continue to deepen this perspective today as a person-centred psychotherapist. For me, the steps in the snow and the steps in life are inextricably linked.

In 2009, I completed my training as a state-certified mountain and ski guide. Since then, I have been guiding people professionally and with genuine pleasure - in the Alps, but especially in the far north.

Norway, and the Lyngen Alps in particular, have a deep meaning of their own for me. What began as a professional curiosity became an important part of my life over time and also my second home: I have been returning to Lyngen again and again since 2012 - to experience this region with its fjords, peaks and Nordic light together with my guests.

For me, the mountains, skiing and ski touring are much more than just a sport or a job. They are my living space, my source of inspiration and a place where encounters succeed in a special way.

Anyone travelling to the Lyngen Alps is looking for the extraordinary: untouched nature, reliable tracks in the snow and authentic experiences. As a German-speaking mountain and ski guide, I know the region like no other. Over many years, I have explored countless tours and developed a keen sense for snow conditions and weather.

My local network enables me to find the best routes at all times - in harmony with nature and in respectful co-operation with the people who live here. This closeness makes every trip not only a sporting endeavour, but also an encounter with the culture and soul of this special region.

Anyone who comes to Lyngen with me therefore experiences more than just ski touring: it is an immersion in a unique landscape - fuelled by experience, safety and genuine passion.
