Winter 2026 Almost Full — Final Spots & New 2027 Dates Released

As winter continues to deliver exceptional conditions in the Alps, most of the upcoming season is now fully booked. A big thank you to all returning guests and new partners who continue to place their trust in these journeys year after year.

There are, however, still a few opportunities left for those looking to join this season.

Final available spots 2026:

Both trips are well suited for strong intermediate to experienced ski tourers looking for classic spring conditions, longer days, and the type of mountain travel that makes this season so special.

These final departures tend to fill quietly — often through returning guests — so if you have been considering a trip this spring, now is a good moment to reach out.

Looking Ahead: 2027 Dates Now Open

Planning further ahead has increasingly become the norm for high-quality ski touring experiences, and several guests have already secured their places well in advance.

Dates are now available for:

Each of these journeys has evolved into a seasonal highlight — combining serious mountain travel with small groups, thoughtful pacing, and a strong focus on safety and decision-making in complex terrain.

If one of these has been on your list, early inquiries are always recommended.

About Svalbard 2027

The annual Ski & Sail expedition to Svalbard is currently being planned, with details to be released once scheduling is finalized.

As always, the approach will remain intentionally small-scale, prioritizing the quality of the experience over volume.

More information will follow in due course.

The continued interest in these trips is both humbling and motivating. Guiding in these environments is ultimately about trust — and about sharing meaningful time in the mountains.

If you are considering joining a future journey, feel free to get in touch early. Conversations often begin long before bookings are made.

See you in the mountains.

Summit success on the Jungfrau

Earlier this month, I guided a client on a successful ascent of the Jungfrau (4,158 m). This is one of the most iconic 4000 m peaks in the Swiss Alps, located in the heart of the Berner Oberland. The climb is a perfect introduction to high alpine mountaineering, combining glacier travel, mixed terrain, and outstanding views.

We began our approach via the Jungfraubahn, which brings you directly to Jungfraujoch, Europe’s highest railway station. From there, we continued on to the Mönchsjochhütte. This hut is ideal for acclimatization and a comfortable overnight stay before summit day.

The following morning, we set off before sunrise. Conditions were excellent — cold, clear, and calm. As we crossed the Jungfraufirn, firm snow and steady progress helped us gain altitude efficiently. As a result, we reached the Rottalsatteljust in time to catch the first light over the Aletsch Glacier.

From there, the final ridge to the summit demanded focus. It was exposed in places, yet in good condition. However, my client moved with confidence and steady footwork. Finally, we reached the summit, greeted by sweeping views over the Eiger, Mönch, and far into the Valais.

The Jungfrau is a rewarding climb for fit mountaineers with some alpine experience. In addition, it offers a fantastic blend of technical challenge and unforgettable scenery.

If you’re considering a guided Jungfrau ascent or other classic routes in the Alps, feel free to explore my guiding services here.

Let’s plan your next adventure — the mountains are waiting.

NEW PRODUCT – Urner Haute Route, summer adventure trek

Last week we had five amazing days in the Urner Alps. Urner Haute Route, the summer adventure trek! As the name suggest, the trek contains various adventures such as Via Ferrata, glacier travel and wild alpine paths. As the winter ski-tour Urner Haute Route ,we sleep in Swiss alpine huts. The difference is that we walk the other direction, towards Andermatt and off-course we don’t use the skis for the down-hill 😉

If you are interested in some summer adventure you’re very welcome to join next summer!

More info about the trek here: Urner Haute Route, summer adventure trek.

Take me to booking!
