Hobbies: sport (mountain bike, cycling, inline skating, cross-country skiing, skiing), staying in the open nature

General: I discovered my love for cycling approximately 15 years ago, followed by my first participation in the “Maratona des Dolomites” in 2000 and the Ötztaler bike marathon. In the following years, I took part in a further 4 “Maratona des Dolomites” and in a further 2 Ötztaler bike marathons.

In the Spring of 2005, I succesfully finished my educational course as a mountain bike guide. Since then, I am generally busy as a mountain bike guide. I love the leisurely tours just as much as the extreme.
