Matterhorn Besteigung am 8.8.23. Der Kontakt, die Buchung etc. absolut professionell, freundlich und zuverlässig. Der Wunschtermin verschob sich wetterbedingt um einen Tag. Die Kommunikation 2 Tage zuvor war ehrlich und begründet. Gebucht hatte ich nur die Besteigung, ohne Vorbereitung. VB und Akklimatisation stand in Eigenverantwortung. Die Beschreibung der Tour mit den notwendigen Anforderungen trifft voll zu und wurde zurecht auch so umgesetzt. Bergführer Stephan ging auch davon aus, dass ich die geforderten Voraussetzungen auch erfülle. Zur Sicherheit aller Menschen am Berg, müssen die geforderten Anforderungen unbedingt sein. Ich dachte zuerst, dass diese etwas übertrieben sind. Das ist aber nicht so. Wir waren sicher nach 7 Stunden wieder auf der Hörnli Hütte. Die Anforderungen von "Zermatters" sind hoch, aber genauso auch beschrieben. Also hinterher nicht jammern, wenn du die Voraussetzungen nicht erfüllst. Das Erlebnis war grandios, danke Stephan und Team. LG Thomas.

We used Jon's services to go from Nyon to the airport at 4am to get an early flight and I can only say that it was such a pleasure - the comfort of the big car (we were 5 plus luggage), the smoothness and safety and of course Jon's good nature made it a trip to be repeated ! The alternatives are taxi followed by train or local expensive and monopoly driven taxi firms. It's a no brainer !

Man bekommt von allem mehr als erwartet. Gesättigt, Zufrieden und Glücklich weil das Leben so gut zu einem ist.
