Passion Mountaineering

I like being outdoors and my great passion is Mountaineering. Altough I have already climbed more than half of the Alps 4000s smaller mountains enchant me too. I have been a photographer for more than half of my life and it was a wonderful stroke of fate when I caught sight of the first alpine panoramic. I thougt it a wonderful way of sharing what normally would only be in my memory. In the Alpes I prefer out-of-the-way mountains or unfrequented climbs.
