Growing up in the Pinzgau region of Salzburg, between the Berchtesgaden and Chiemgau Alps, my love for the mountains was instilled in me by my parents from an early age. As far back as I can remember, my memories are filled with mountaineering, climbing, skiing… At first, not always voluntarily, but it shaped me nonetheless. Today, the mountains have become the center of my life—both professionally and personally. In my early twenties, I moved to Innsbruck to study. Although the university didn't see me very often, I was able to complete my academic journey in the spring of 2021 with my master’s thesis on wet snow mechanics. Since then, I've been working full-time as a mountain guide and have the privilege of introducing you to the very world that shaped me so deeply and still brings a smile to my face every single day.
