About Me

I am a person who loves to spend his time outdoors. Since my early childhood, my daily routine is closely connected with the element of water in all its manifestations. In winter, water freezes to ice and snow and that's how I spend my time skiing or ice climbing. During the rest of the year, I spend a lot of time on rock and try to live my dream as a meteorologist, mountain and ski guide.

Together with my wife Vroni and dog Daisy, we live with our horses on a mountain farm in Marlstein, high above the Ötztal. I try to balance all my passions and am happy of my first ascents on rock and ice.
