Passion adventures

Some of my favorite trips and explorations of all time

Tezza-7465.jpg

Never been that far up North before, it felt like we sailed to the end of the world.. I posted a few postcards to my family from the Northernmost post office in the world. Surreal feeling. Other than the skiing which was really fun, I loved learning about Svalbard and the scientific researching that is going on there. A very special place.

Winter 2026 was the first time I stepped my foot in this amazing country, not once but twice. We skied in Svaneti, the high alpine region there, and in Bakhmaro, which are the smaller Caucasus range and super special because there is only cat skiing there. No resorts, no lifts, not even any roads -- you have to get around by snow cat. It was some of the best skiing of my life, mostly because of the non-stressed, endless powder days and also because of the food hehe.

Ever since I started freediving I've been dreaming about visiting the cenotes in Mexico. Cenotes are cave-like holes filled with fresh water, situated in the middle of the jungle. We were lucky enough to connect with a couple of local cenote legends who took us to the best secret spots. The most special thing about these water holes is that when the sun is in the right position, it creates a light beam under water that looks like a cathedral. Diving in the light beam is amongst the most transcendent moments of my life.

Everything aligned for us during this incredible week sailing from Maniitsoq, Greenland. We skied some of the most scenic lines of my life, sailed through glassy fjords, fished our own dinner every day and as a bonus we freedived the coldest water of my life, amongst the ice bergs.

I was super randomly invited to come on one of the most unique trips I've been on, to Magdalena Bay in Mexico, for marlin diving and tagging. Being in the water with these insanely speedy fish was some of the coolest underwater experiences of my life. This was also a film project, and I got roped in as the BTS photographer. See the film here:

The summers tend to pull me to the North, so past couple of years I've spent a few weeks roadtripping and camping in Lofoten, Norway. Days are spent climbing, hiking, cooking outside, swimming in the fjords, kayaking, diving... Nights are spent on top of the car in my roof top tent or on top of mountains in a sleeping bag right on the ground.

It's been a dream of mine to dive with whales and in October 2022 I finally got the opportunity. During this trip to French Polynesia, I got in total 6 unreal encounters. Some of the most special moments of my life.

Japan ski dream

Skied the best powder and tree lines of my life here. Also skiing amongst volcanoes and giant fumeroles is just something you don't get everywhere. Japan is the most interesting culture I've visited so far, with potentially the best food. Can't wait to go back some  day.

Me and my Austrian friend Carmen Huter did this 5 day hike through a part of Switzerland. We walked many kilometers and verticals every day and slept in 4 different mountain huts along the way.

Utah

Possibly the coolest place I've visited on this Earth. We lived out of a van for a week as we explored and climbed around this natural playground. I also got to wake surf on Lake Powell, which might have been a top three moment in life.

My first taste of Chamonix

When I spent 2 summer weeks here in 2022, I fell in love with this place and that is part of the reason why I've later on spent both full winter and summer seasons in this epic place. My overall relationship to the mountains have really deepened here and I am so thankful I came on this first trip.

First real van trip of my life was spent in the Alps, and I got my first real taste of mountaineering on this trip. From summiting Austria's highest mountain Grossglockner to mountain biking in Lake Garda to staying in really cool bivouacs in the Julian Alps, this trip is part of the reason why I spend so much time in the Alps in the summer now. .
