Trail Running Instructor | Hiking Guide (in training) | Photographer

Whether on touring skis, on ice, or with trail running shoes in alpine terrain, I am active in all disciplines throughout the year. And when winter calls, I gladly exchange my trail running shoes as Swiss Snowsports Instructor for cross-country skis in skating or classic style. Always with me: my camera, because I am not only chasing the next flow moment, but also the perfect light.

As a Trail Running Instructor (esa leader in trail running and mountain running T3, Swiss Athletics), I show you how to fly over the trails efficiently, safely, and with a smile. At the same time, I am currently training to become a UIMLA Mountain Leader with the Association of German Mountain and Ski Guides (VDBS) – because my passion is not only for running, but for the entire mountain world.

And when I'm not heading for a summit, I capture everything that makes being outdoors unforgettable as a multi-award-winning international photographer: vast landscapes, powerful emotions, and the moment when adventure begins.

Awards as a photographer

Accompanying people who push their limits and rediscover the magic of the mountains: that's what drives me. We so often get stuck in our routines and forget that a hamster wheel only looks like a career ladder from the inside. Out there in the rocks, snow, or on narrow paths, you can still find freedom, and that's where new paths emerge—in your mind and in your life.
