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!
It is a way to return.
In movement, things become simple again.
The noise fades.
What matters becomes visible.
There is no need to force clarity.
It appears on its own – step by step.
Daily physical movement is my anchor.
It brings me back into the body.
Into presence.
In a world that constantly asks for more,
this is where I need less.
No complexity.
No distraction.
Just breath.
Just rhythm.
Just being.
There is something honest in that.
You cannot outsource movement.
You cannot shortcut it.
You either show up, or you don’t.
And in showing up – quietly, consistently –
something deeper is built.
Not just strength.
But trust.
Not just fitness.
But alignment.
To feel life – to feel alive.
This is why I run.
In my life, I have run along many rivers, especially in Switzerland. I’ve covered routes along the Rhine, Aare, Rhone, Reuss, Linth, Sihl, Limmat, Glatt (ZH), Thur, Ticino, Necker, Sitter, Birs, Doubs, Sense, Inn, and more. Over the last few weeks, I’ve explored some new river routes:
It is wonderful to run along Swiss rivers and discover nature this way!
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 to jog back down – and maybe think about doing it again.
Short distance, big effort. That’s the 1000er-Stägeli – LOVE IT!
Insider: A short detour to Heidenhöhle 👌
There’s a particular feeling that arrives the moment you clip into your skis and push off into a silent, snow-covered forest — a quiet euphoria that no trail map can prepare you for.

With the first snowfall, the Gantrisch once again transforms into a quiet, wide-open winter landscape — the perfect setting for the 2025/26 cross-country season.
Freshly groomed trails lead through snowy forests and gentle hills, about 1600m asl. Every kilometre is an invitation to breathe deeply, find your rhythm and feel the calm of nature.
Whether classic or skating, the Gantrisch offers ideal conditions for everyone who seeks movement, clarity and a strong connection to the outdoors. Crisp air, wide views and a winter that reveals itself differently each day.
Here’s to a season full of lightness, nature and quiet winter moments in the Gantrisch.
12.11.2025 – The Vanil Noir ridge delivered one of my most memorable trail running experiences to date – stunning and treacherous in equal measure. The snow-covered west-hang demanded full concentration with every step. I encountered numerous chamois navigating the steep terrain with effortless grace, and caught glimpses of wild birds soaring against the dramatic Alpine backdrop. This run reminded me why the Swiss Alps continue to captivate: raw beauty that commands both respect and awe. Not for the faint-hearted, but absolutely worth it.
