Mountain guide Reto Michael

Reto grew up in Val Müstair, where he was practically born into skiing. With his cosmopolitan nature and a range of exciting hobbies that definitely arouse curiosity, he brings a breath of fresh air to every adventure. On the mountain, he provides you with targeted support to improve your skills and accompanies you through challenging situations with a great deal of empathy. Thanks to his height, he can effortlessly reach any tricky spot and masters even the most difficult passages with ease.

What our guests say about Reto:

We have already had several great tours with Bergschaft with very friendly and competent mountain guides and have always been very satisfied.

The high tour course with Reto was great. We learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. Reto has a good mix of attentiveness, seriousness, empathy and relaxation. I felt like I was in good hands every second.

The Bergschaft was simply great. Very well organised, Jonas as the organiser was always available and very helpful. Reto, our mountain guide, was great: nice, experienced and very helpful. His support during the 2 days was great and really recommendable. I can highly recommend the Bergschaft and Reto in particular. The first day on the Rotstock via ferrata was already great, the Jungfrau summit was a special experience in the best weather, despite complex conditions. Reto was great here too.

I really enjoyed being out and about in the mountains and glaciers with a colourful group. We were carefully prepared and adventurously accompanied by the two mountain guides, Reto and Kevin, who also provided us with a great deal of training. Thank you for everything!

Many thanks to Reto and Kevin for the three great tour days. You were great people and guided us competently through the varied tour. Thank you also for the valuable tips on ski touring techniques and route planning. I would be happy to book another tour with Bergschaft.

We had a wonderful time in the Valais mountains! A fun and very harmonious group and as a topping 2 mountain guides who gave us a lot of safety, showed us lots of tips and tricks on the mountain and integrated us into the tour planning! Thank you so much for this wonderful and educational time out! I will come on a tour with you again any time!

On our three-day tour with Reto and Kevin to the Bishorn and Brunegg (Turtmanhütte + Vabane de Tracuit) we had a lot of fun. For me as a Dutchman (Holland/Netherlands) doing a longer tour than one day, it was fantastic. Both tour guides were very entertaining, took their job seriously and included us in the tour planning! Thanks a lot guys.

Our group was above average in skiing and ascent (although I am a beginner in the ascent). Thanks to the good tips, I was able to find my own rhythm and keep up with the groups.

I will definitely return to you for another tour and can recommend everyone to go to Bergschaft and try this fantastic ski tour.
