Reading the bulletin, judging terrain, practising transceiver search, so you can make good decisions yourself.

Hi, I’m Manu.

Mountain guide, engineer, and happiest where the track is still fresh.

The mountains pulled me in early: at six I climbed Piz Kesch with my father, my first mountain tour. After high school and a degree in mechanical engineering at ETH Zurich, I decided to train as a mountain guide.

Safety in the mountains comes first for me. I plan every tour around current conditions and what you have in mind, so you learn something along the way and enjoy your day out.
