Born in the Tyrolian Alps - mountains and nature have always played an important role in my life. Already at an early age I began to travel the world. After travelling extensively for many years worldwide, the earths wild and unspoilt places began to exert an indelible attraction on me. The result were countless trekking/hiking trips as well as technical ascents in all major mountain ranges of the world. For quite some time now I have been working as a freelance guide in western Canada. In the Yukon and Alaska I guide visitors on the rivers and mountains for Ruby Range Adventure. Simple living, like sleeping in tents, is not a hardship to me but a spice of life! My aim is to provide a safe and memorable wilderness experience.
