About Raphael
My career as a mountain guide has allowed me to travel far, especially in winter. So I could discover from Canada, Norway, Japan, Georgia Peru and of course the Alps countries. However, I was drawn back to the Pitztal valley, which my family and I call home.
I and the team would like to share my experiences especially in the alpine and freeride area with you. The safety of our guests as well as the fun on the tours is our top priority. The Pitztal, one of the wildest side valleys of the Eastern Alps, is the perfect place for winter sports addicts. With our numerous 3,000m peaks, the unique waterfalls along the valley, as well as the glacier area, we can offer you breathtaking outdoor activities.

Since 2008 I work self-employed in different areas, which was extremely fun for me and has always provided a change. In the summer I was active as a mountain guide, mainly in the Alps, as well as individual treks such as eg. at the Kilimajaro. In the winter I worked most of the time on the Arlberg as a guide and freeride guide, in the late winter I preferred ski touring weeks, where it then moved me through the Alpine countries. In the spring and in the autumn I led canyoning tours through our local gorges.
