It may be related to the fact that I live in Switzerland, but I’m definitely in love with mountains, especially in winter when they are covered with snow.
I started skiing when I was a kid, driving with my parents over the weekend to hit to slops. As I grew up, I switched to snowboarding, but returned to skiing as an adult. Over the last years, I added outdoor skiing to my mountain activities, usually hiking with a backpack full of camera and drone gear. I enjoy the effort to climb as much as taking pictures while hiking.

One of the great thing about Switzerland is that the country is small, so wherever you are, you are close to the mountains and in less than an hour, I can start skiing and enjoying these beautiful landscapes.
