Our Team

We’re not just a marketing and information organization – we’re the heart, the voice, and the good vibes of this region! 

With passion in our hearts and a deep love for the mountains, we carry the magic of the Wildstrubel, the stories of the Blüemlisalp, and the unique charm of our home far beyond the peaks and into the world.

But we’re not only out there spreading the word – we’re right here in the middle of it all. On the ground, with the people. For our guests, we’re the first point of contact: full of energy, ready to listen, always armed with insider tips – and most importantly, a genuine smile.

Whether it’s questions, last-minute plans, or just the need for a friendly chat – we’ve got you. Laid-back, full of life, and always with a wink. Because just like our mountains stand tall, so does our motivation. We don’t just promote the region – we live it, love it, and share it with joy. Every single day.
