From mountain to vocation: This is Ammann's world

Tyrol - Tannheimertal - a dream for individualists. I was born there in 1979 and spent my first thirty years surrounded by the mountains of the Allgäu Alps.

Since then, my steps on my way to becoming a mountain and ski guide have led me upwards: to countless peaks in the world and finally to my winter home in Obergurgl in the Ötztal.

From carpenter's apprentice to ski and snowboard instructor...

Mountain guide with passion
