Climbing is not a hobby, it’s a way of life. When I first got to know about the possibility to become a mountain guide, I told myself it’s not for me. Couple years ago I realized, that I’d love to spend more time in the mountains. I have successfully finished the mountain guide’s education so I can combine my passion for photography with the experience I’ve gained while climbing in the mountains. My vision is simple. I would love to provide my clients an extraordinary mountaineering experience which would remain not only in their memories, but also on high quality photos. If it sounds interesting to you, let me know and we’ll arrange a trip.

WHO IS THE MOUNTAIN GUIDE?
The International IFMGA mountain guide qualification is the highest form of education for guiding clients in the mountains. To be accepted into the training of a mountain guide, it is necessary to document the list of ascents in the mountains, on rocks and ski tours, then you have to take part in 120 days of education and tests.
If you want to climb the Matterhorn, enjoy pow skiing, learn how to behave in avalanche terrain or be able to pull fellow climbers out of a crevasse, I'll tell you how to do it.
Do you want to climb something nice and bring back a few beautiful pictures to remember?
Small groups! The size of the group matters. In order to provide all safety measurements during the tour I am only allowed to guide small groups of clients. The more difficult the target the smaller group.
