Mountain guide Julian Good (Kölliker)

A brilliant climbing trip. My first time in Greece. Fantastic rock and countless climbing opportunities, including MSL. Excellent organisation by Bergschaft. A spacious vehicle and great, spacious accommodation. I think a maximum group size of 6 people is ideal; there were 5 of us and that was perfect. The group atmosphere was brilliant and we had a really good time throughout the week. Personally, I found the Sunday–Saturday departure/arrival schedule very convenient. Julian was an outstanding mountain guide and tour leader. He was calm, knowledgeable and empathetic. He always adapted the routes perfectly to the group’s abilities and the weather. He took time for everyone and tried to highlight strengths and areas for improvement. You can tell that Julian really enjoys working with people. I always felt safe and would love to go on another trip with him.

Julian guided us expertly, patiently and encouragingly through the Kreuzberge. Although we were only occasional climbers, we were able to complete almost the entire west-to-east traverse despite less-than-ideal conditions (cold).

This 4-day trip is simply perfect for those that are looking for a holiday of sports, wonderful sceneries and relax. You get to do a 1000-hm skitour a day starting at 2000 m in an area full of options and incredible snow without sacrificing on comfort: the hotel has a fantastic sauna with mountain view and a very nice restaurant. This is my second year on this trip, and I'm already looking forward to next year!

The Ski & Sail trip with Bergschaft is and remains one of my travel highlights! With Julian we were able to enjoy brilliant, varied and super-guided tours in fantastic natural surroundings. The combination with the sailing ship is unique and makes this trip especially beautiful. Harvard and Ann-Helen are also perfect hosts who do everything they can to offer their guests an unforgettable trip. I can highly recommend the Ski & Sail trip with Bergschaft! A perfect mix of sport, nature experience and maritime flair.
