After almost five weeks with hardly any running (just two trail sessions), I decided to line up for the Swiss Irontrail in Val Surses. With a length of around 56.5 km, 4,200m of ascent, 3,600m of descent, and an average altitude of around 2,200m, it was an extremely demanding course – especially with an Achilles […]
The mountains of the Alps have given me countless unforgettable experiences over the years. Among them, some of the most special moments have been encounters with Alpine ibex. While trail running and hiking across the region, I have often been fortunate enough to observe these remarkable animals in their natural habitat. Their ability to move […]
Unfortunately, due to Achilles tendon issues, I was not able to take part in the 100 km race at the Biel Running Days. I would like to sincerely thank the organizers for their outstanding work in making this event possible. Thank you for mentioning me as one of the favorites.
2.5.2026 – Last Saturday I ran the three summits Matthorn, Pilatus, and Stanserhorn. Over 3,300 uphill meters marked a new personal one-day record for me. The conditions were perfect, and the views were phenomenal. Below are the details of the tour – EnJOY!

Over the last few weeks, I’ve explored some new river routes: It is wonderful to run along Swiss rivers […]
6.3.2026 – I run the 1000er-Stägeli several times: short, intense, and surprisingly tough. The staircase climbs steeply up the Born in the Swiss Jura, with around 1150 steps packed into a very short distance. At the top, a short moment to catch the breath and enjoy the view over the Swiss Mittelland. Then it’s time […]
