Philosophy
How Lois works.
Born here, not relocated here
Lois grew up in a South Tyrolean valley where the day started with a look at the snow line. That familiarity is the reason he can find quiet powder on a busy Saturday in February.
High class, never stiff
His guests are lawyers, founders and executives who spend their working lives being formal. On the mountain they want precision without performance, and a guide who is genuinely good company.
Safety as a quiet discipline
Risk work happens before you notice it: snowpack observations, aspect choices, timing. You experience it only as a day that felt completely natural and completely secure.
On the mountain
Twenty seasons, one home range.
Questions
Guiding with Lois, in detail.
English, German, Italian and Ladin. Briefings, safety talks and small talk on the lift all happen in your language.
Yes. The day is built around your level, from confident first turns on quiet slopes to steep couloirs and multi-day traverses.
Christmas, February and March weeks are usually reserved months ahead. Short-notice days do open up, so it is always worth a message.
