About me

Ivonne Ries – International Mountain Leader UIMLA
Certified hiking guide with federal diploma and international recognition

With great pleasure and curiosity I explore as a mountain enthusiast all-rounder (mountaineering, climbing, via ferrata, hiking, ice climbing as well as touring skis and snowshoes) in Switzerland and abroad the landscapes and cultures in every season.

I have been sharing my extensive alpine mountain experience for years as SAC Swiss Alpine Club Tour Leader Summer with my participants on the SAC UTO high altitude tours.

As certified hiking guide with federal diploma of proficiency, trained by the Swiss Mountain Guide Association SBV, I
experience the inspiring nature often along little known routes and paths.                
Since 2021 I also have a professional licence for alpine hiking (T4).

In addition to my work as a hiking guide, I have been working in the international health care sector for many years.
The multicultural aspects of my two professions complement each other perfectly.

With a lot of pleasure I use my foreign language skills in English, French and some Spanish in addition to my German mother tongue.


I would be happy to welcome you on my tours:
Together we discover mountain worlds, cultures and fascinating surprises along the way.
