You want to spend an extraordinary holiday in the European Alps, but …
You have
NO TIME
to compare tons of offers on the Internet. Would you like to just express your wishes and then get exactly that?
You don't know
WHERE EXACTLY
you should travel to find what you “always wanted” to experience?
You don't want to be plugged into an
UNKNOWN GROUP
and have to spend your whole vacation with other participants who do not suit you at all?

100% Flexible
- Always on the sunny side of the Alps
- We defy the increasing weather dynamics due to climate change – with the “two-fold bad weather response“
- Decades of mountain experience of the founder allows very short-term rescheduling to equivalent tours in another – then sunnier – Alpine region
Here you can find the exact conditions.
Which side of the Alps do you want to go to? Tell me your wishes in our free introductory talk:
100% Inspiring
- Experience moments of happiness up close and intensely: crystal clear air, breathtaking views, wildlife and plants in the alpine habitat.
- Selected encounters with the local people on mountain farms or alpine dairies, at falconry visits or wine tastings.
- Sustainable, enriching experiences in harmonious own private group. Here is more information about the Slow Alps target group.
- Guest and guide: inspiration through accompaniment at eye level. You always determine the degree and scope of my support.
Our introductory phone or video call is therefore a prerequisite for our cooperation! It is of course free of charge:
Your vacation experience with Slow Alps:
Easy
Don’t worry about anything
I take over the planning and complete organization of your outdoor vacation including the tour guiding on the mountain.
Exactly for the period you specify. Whether hiking, mountaineering, cycling, mountain biking, cultural visits or culinary highlights, in summer as in winter.
All you need to do is bring 2 times 1 hour for a phone call or video call.
Unforgettable
Enjoy without limits
You don’t want to walk or bike the standard sights on well-trodden paths? I will take you to regions where you can experience the real Alps – with crystal-clear lakes, deep forests and stunning views you’ll never forget.
Let the regional cuisine melt in your mouth – whether Kaiserschmarrn, bacon dumplings, Schlutzkrapfen or Aus’zogene…
Enjoy lightheartedly with all your senses.
Personal
On the same wavelength
I put my heart and soul into every guided tour. I take time for you and your wishes. In the preparation and on the tour. You should be able to enjoy every minute – while hiking, eating and resting.
Beyond the pure tour guiding, I offer you a lot of extras depending on the booked tour program and character.
