Tobias was born with a passion for nature and the mountains. As the son of a Swiss mountain guide, he was drawn to the local Alps at an early age and got involved with them. When he first travelled to Chile in 1995 as a young man, he was immediately fascinated by the country's wild nature and the warm hospitality of the local people. The impressions he received at that time were so profound that in the year 2000 he decided to settle in the south of Chile where he still lives today.

He completed the national training for mountain guides and since then he has worked, among other things, as an instructor at the Chilean Mountaineering Association. He has also built a reputation over the years as an internationally recognized ski instructor. Due to his great experience and immense expertise, he always transmits a great calm, and his artistic and musical talent makes him an interesting and very pleasant companion.
