The people behind the article

PowderGuide

In Davos zu Hause, wo andere Urlaub machen und ich gelegentlich vergesse, wie schön es eigentlich ist. Am liebsten bin ich draussen in den Bergen unterwegs, auf Ski, am Fels, oder irgendwo dazwischen aber auf jeden Fall mit der Kamera im Gepäck. Als Fotograf und Videograf habe ich meine Leidenschaft für Bilder und Geschichten zum Beruf gemacht. Und dann wäre da PowderGuide: ein Herzensprojekt mit einem grossartigen Team, einer begeisterten Community und der erstaunlichen Fähigkeit, jede noch so grosse Lücke im Kalender mit tollen Inhalten zu füllen 🌞
