Rooted in Engelberg. Guided by Dani.

Hi,I’m Dani Perret.

I’m an IFMGA mountain guide based in Engelberg. I guide private freeride days, ski tours, climbing and mountaineering trips in the region.

For many years, I’ve guided guests around Titlis, Brunni, the Uri Alps and Central Switzerland. We plan each tour around your experience, what you want to do and the conditions on the day.

Much of this content is based on my work as the author of the Engelberg Outdoor Guide as well as on countless days as a mountain guide around Titlis and Engelberg.

Followthe snow.

Around Titlis and Brunni, we can choose from open powder slopes, classic off-piste runs and more demanding descents. I pick the route with you according to the snow, weather and your experience.

It's getting closer to a new ski season with memories from before. Dani has been my guide for over a decade and has always delivered magnificent experiences.
