Private guiding with Jonas
Add a private half-day or full-day experience with Jonas to your self-guided adventure—Tour du Mont Blanc, Walker’s Haute Route, Tour des Combins or Bernese Oberland.
Each day is shaped around your itinerary, hiking ability, interests and the conditions.
Take a practice hike with Jonas before your multi-day trip. Discuss the local terrain, likely weather and trail conditions, and gain practical knowledge for the journey ahead.
Have Jonas join your first stage and discover the geography, history, wildlife and mountain culture behind the landscape.
Bring an experienced professional alongside your group for a day with sustained climbing, steep descents or unfamiliar terrain.
Meet Jonas
Jonas has spent years hiking, running, climbing, skiing and guiding throughout the Alps.
Originally from the Netherlands, he has lived in Switzerland since 2015. His international background and multilingual approach make him particularly well suited to helping visitors experience the European Alps with greater understanding and confidence.
Jonas has completed mountain marathons, ultramarathons and major ski-mountaineering events, and has climbed and skied more than ten 4,000-metre Alpine peaks. Just as importantly, he knows how to translate that experience into a calm, engaging day for your group.
