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.
