Berg- en wandelgidsen

Franziska Braunhofer 
is a qualified fitness and health trainer as well as a sauna infusion master who loves to get out and about in the mountains of her homeland. Six years ago, whilst looking for a balance to physical activity out of doors, the enthusiastic outdoor sportswoman discovered yoga. Since then, she has practised it almost every day and since 2019, after completing intensive training with Yoga Vidya, has also passed on her knowledge to others. As a qualified hiking guide, Franziska can also regularly be found in South Tyrol’s mountains with mountain-loving visitors. In 2022 she learned the principles of the climatic terrain cure from Professor Dr. Dr. Angela Schuh.

The "basecamp" is the town of Brunico, near Plan de Corones in the"green valley", the gateway to the Dolomites.
"Dolomitenfuchs" offers year-round safe and informative walking either in groups, with the whole family, just "you and I" or individually.

Martin is always on hand with practical tips and is pleased to accompany you through the mountains of South Tyrol. His walks are not standard routes and the groups are very small, so Martin can take his time for each participant. At Tele Radio Vinschgau he has his own series: "So wanders South Tyrol" and in 2014 he wrote his first book "Rediscover Known Ways in South Tyrol". In addition to his knowledge of herb cultivation, he wants to be the first certified nature coach in South Tyrol to bring nature to you with all your senses.

My name is Sonja and I live in San Vigilio di Marebbe, in the heart of the Dolomites.

I work as an environmental hiking guide, a profession born out of my eight years of experience as a ranger in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies nature park. In this role, I deepened my knowledge of the area and developed dissemination skills. I also run a hut at Plan de Corones during the winter, where I accompany people in various activities. I love to share my love for nature by creating unique experiences for participants in my hikes.

We, the guides of the Alpine School Catores, are very lucky to accompany our guests in what we consider the most beautiful mountains in the world.

Native-born “Ladiner”. Proud of my heritage, history and culture. I have always been a frequent user of the natural wonders of the area.
I enjoy showing my guests the real “Val Badia” with an affectionate and warm focus on personal attention. I customize the tours in a professional way, according to individual interests and abilities.

I am a fully certified hiking-guide and registered in the Mountain and Ski Guides Register of South Tyrol, Italy. 

It can be a source of inspiration to bring people together. The Dolomites are widely regarded as being among the most scenic mountain ladscapes in the world.
Being born on the top of the world, I have always viewed it as a privilege and an opportunity. Deeply rooted in my upbringing, I was fortunate to be taught respect and a deep love for the mountains and unique enviroment that we live in.

David Spath
is a tested and certified mountain guide and having completed a two-year training programme works as a guide throughout South Tyrol. He happily and competently accompanies and leads mountain-loving people in a wide variety of mountain sport disciplines – from climbing and abseiling to alpine tours over cliffs or glaciers and summit ascents. In addition, he offers climbing lessons, individual alpine skiing tours for beginners, and avalanche and glacier courses.  

My name is Michaela Prister, I offer special and exceptionally unique hikes and nature experiences of a special kind. My specials are the "Shamanic Witch Hike" and the "Shepherd Hike", as well as an offer of various ceremonies.

As a hiking guide in mid-mountain, I strive not only, to lead my hiking guests into these majestic mountain worlds and offer them the most incomparable views, but also to convey the magic and enchantment inherent in this landscape. My desire is to open up the sight of my guests' hearts on excursions to a more complete and different vision of the apparent, because as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said in his book “The Little Prince”: ’One sees well only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes'.

As an artist and Ard Rì, I have dedicated myself entirely to the female myth and spiritual heritage of my homeland and, in addition to my works, I also offer ancient Rhaetian ceremonies for special occasions. If you would like to know more, please contact me by email or whats app, as I am rarely or only belatedly available by phone. Whatever our ways, what will be, will be, le lini casù...

International Mountain Leader (IML)

I want to give every hiker a particular hiking experience and try to offer a personal added value. Puez-Odles Nature Park, Seceda, Col Raiser, Resciesa, Stevia, Sassolungo, Seiser Alm are only some of the areas in the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites that I would like to explore with you. Already as a child I was attracted by hiking and can claim to know the most beautiful facets and special secret places in Val Gardena. True to the motto: A WOW experience. As a passionate hiker, alpinist and paraglider pilot I can claim to know our mountains from below but also from above. I speak four languages: Ladin, German, Italian and English. I successfully passed my examination as a South Tyrolean hiking guide and I am registered as a hiking guide in the Register of South Tyrolean Mountain and Ski Guides as required.

Recently, after a very intensive preparation, I also passed the International Mountain Leader (IML) exam: in other words, I am now an outdoor guide with the best and most in-depth training recognised internationally by the UIMLA training standard. Now I can also lead groups in different mountains all over the world.

I would be very happy to accompany you on a hiking experience in summer as well as in winter.
