About me! I'm Reini - your mountain leader and guide throughout the entire trip. I take care about safety, logistics and the cooking in the beautiful alpine cabin. I've been travelling in the mountains for over 35 years and organise mountain tours throughout the year. As symply.hiking, I guide my guests through the Alps all the way to Nepal. In winter with snowshoe tours and in summer with hikes. From easy to challenging - from short to long hikes - everything has a place in my programme. Thoughts on the trail - simply.enjoyable As a hiking guide, I don't just accompany my guests on enjoyable trails. I want to awaken the senses, show the connections between nature and the seasons and the mountains as a cultural area. To facilitate surprising encounters - with landscapes, plants and animals, with other people and with yourself. To create space in a hectic time for quiet moments, lasting impressions, good conversation and hearty hospitality.

Alpine hut - Alp Tschärmilonga - simply.exclusive High above Leukerbad and the mountain village of Albinen lies the Tschärmilonga alp at 1926 metres above sea level in the Wallis Alps near Zermatt and the famous Matterhorn. From the sunny mountain terrace, the view extends over the entire Rhone Valley as far as Mont Blanc. This is where I like to welcome and entertain guests in my charming and well-equipped mountain hut. The house offers plenty of space for up to 6 people and room for cooking, eating, drinking and good conversation. And for hiking. Alp Tschärmilonga is the starting point for many tours in both summer and winter. Reini has known this terrain since his earliest childhood and will guide you safely through forests, across open terrain and wonderful vantage points with views over the Valais 4000 metre peaks. Your physical well-being is taken care of, we cook on the wood-burning stove with local product. A fine glass of local wine is from this famous wine region is a must. Part of the cosiness of alpine hut life is that everyone lends a hand. Fetching water from the nearby well, fetching wood from the barn, helping with the cooking and washing up - just hut life... Enjoy "all inclusive" mountain days on the Tschärmilonga. Hearty hospitality paired with professionally guided mountain hikes and snowshoe tours. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
