Besides

I am passionate about sport and nature and enjoy skiing, mountain hiking, jogging, walking and playing golf. I would love to climb the “Großvenediger” mountain in Austria for the third time and ski down into the valley on touring skis in good weather and snow conditions. And I am proud of the many friends I have made among my partners and colleagues at RITTERSHAUS since 1993.
