Across the Greina plateau
Where a reservoir was once planned, there is now a hiker’s paradise: the Greina, a high plateau some six kilometres long, at around 2,200 metres.

Fancy rustling leaves, crisp air and sunshine above the sea of fog, but no time to plan? Then you have come to the right place.

Where a reservoir was once planned, there is now a hiker’s paradise: the Greina, a high plateau some six kilometres long, at around 2,200 metres.

Here you feel the south: two days on the border ridge with Italy to Monte Boglia, high above Lugano, then down through chestnut woods to Monte Brè.

Most of my hikes are in central and eastern Switzerland, with the occasional trip to Italy or Austria.
For me, a good hike is about more than getting there. We take in the landscape, read the weather and watch for wildlife. Because nature comes first, I keep my groups deliberately small.
Leisurely or energetic, summit or mountain lake: tell me how you like to walk, and I will put together a proposal just for you.
Plan my hikeIn rain or storms I postpone the tour or change the route. Safety always comes first.
Usually four to eight people, depending on how demanding the tour is. Planning a private hike or a company outing? Then we settle the group size together.
In Switzerland both are state-recognised professions with a federal diploma, but they cover different ground. As a hiking guide, I lead you on hiking and mountain trails, and on snowshoe tours in winter. An additional qualification allows me to lead alpine hikes up to grade T4. Mountain guides are trained for the high Alps: glaciers, climbing, via ferratas, ski tours and demanding alpine routes from T5 upwards.
The grades come from the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) hiking scale and show how demanding a route is. T1 (hiking): well-made trails marked in yellow, with no special demands. T2 (mountain hiking): white-red-white markings, sometimes steep; you need sure footing and good boots. T3 (demanding mountain hiking): some exposed sections, partly secured with ropes or chains; a head for heights is essential. T4 (alpine hiking): white-blue-white markings; the path is not always visible, and you will sometimes need your hands.
Each season has its own colours, its own paths and its own rhythm.
