Introduction
I'm a keen hiker since 2004. I made a trip to New Zealand that year and discovered that there was not much else to do than hiking, so I gave it a try. Since then I got addicted and go out every weekend for hiking, climbing and lately also moutaineering. In winter I used to snowshoe a lot but since my skiing got a little better over the years I now rather go ski touring.
