Life’s questions are endless…

“I want to run an ultra”…

  • Why? – “Because I want to prove I can do it”
  • Why? – “Because I want others to admire my perseverance”
  • Why? – “Because it gives me a sense of belonging and satisfies my need for recognition”
  • Why? – “…”…

What’s your WHY behind your what and why?…

We spent an inspiring time in beautiful South Tyrol, surrounded by high snow-covered mountains and lots of love. At an altitude of about 1730 meters, we embraced the joy of winter activities. The breathtaking views captured our hearts. I went cross-country skiing for the first time in five new spots, including Val Müstair and Unterengadin (between Scuol and La Martina). The magnificent trails invited us to explore, while Val Venosta became a place to linger and dream.

January 2025 – After the polar night in December, when no sun-ray touches your skin, the days slowly start getting longer, and the increasing amount of light inspires you to hit the slopes. This region is energizing for one who loves cross-country skiing. I was embedded in love. Awe and wonder were my constant companions in all my activities and even caught me in my dreams. Aurora, the northern lights, were dancing and shining. They directly spoke to my heart.

Finnish Lapland

There are eight seasons in Lapland. Each has its own specialty. This was my third time in Finnish Lapland; it feels like home every time. You not only feel nature, but you are entirely immersed in it, woven in it, part of it; you are one; you are nature!

I have covered practically the entire cross-country ski trail network in Switzerland, thousands of kilometers, and for me, there is one region that stands out in particular – the Jura. The last wilderness for cross-country skiers in Switzerland. Beautifully nestled between Switzerland and France, this part is what cross-country skiing is all about for me. Magical and emotional plains with forests that touch the heart.

Jura – Prés-d’Orvin

Jura – L’Auberson

You have to immerse yourself and be inspired by this nature. If anyone needs tips, please ask. Bonne chance!

I did 29 mountain runs and hikes in the Swiss Alps this summer and autumn, 12 times over 3000m asl. It’s such an incredible scenery; your Heart and Soul always feel better and get more clarity during and after the trail. After over 600 trail runs, I still have not seen every corner of Switzerland, and I’m very thankful to live here in this great country with beautiful mountains and lakes. The fall season is often my favorite time for trail runs, especially when the leaves of the larches and other deciduous trees show their most colorful side. I look forward to lingering and dreaming in the golden hours in the following weeks of late fall.

Here you can find some impressions.

My favourite hiking canton(s) in Switzerland? Ufff, that’s tough, but I would go for Uri, Ticino and Grisons. If I had to choose one, it would be Uri. Such a diversity in a region with an area of 1,077km2. It is the centrepiece of Switzerland, especially geographically. Uri is one of the founding cantons, the “original” canton par excellence. From myths and legends to heroic epics. It’s full of exciting stories! I love the landscape, that is engraved in my heart. It is the glue that holds the Swiss regions together and connects them – South and North, East and West. Both a water castle and a mountain colossus, Uri is a natural paradise! Watch out – the morning and evening hours over Uri are unmistakable, unforgettable!…

Nature teaches us so much. It doesn’t take much to absorb the full power of nature. We are animals of nature and movement. When we physically move in nature, we feel alive and fresh. Exploring nature without digital distractions is one of the greatest feelings for me. It is one of the most beautiful memories of my life. I believe that we are not made for an almost exclusively indoor life. The more digital (distractions) we experience, the more the call for physical encounters and wilderness is activated.

We long for deep, lasting encounters.

In today’s fast-paced world with so many distractions, a regular body scan is all the more important. A body scan is about interoception, sensing signals from the body. The more we connect with our physical bodies, the more we feel what is good for us. Everything we suppress will sooner or later show up in our physical bodies. That’s why body awareness is so critical to our health. Don’t neglect it, it speaks volumes!
