About us
Inspired by a life of adventure
You can go anywhere, see anything and become anyone.
Taking the road less travelled keeps you feeling alive. All your senses are on high-alert and you’re ready to embrace new experiences. You live in the moment and constantly adjust to your new environment and situation.
Ticino Adventures is a professional outdoor guide service built around these very principles. We live for adventure and love to share unforgettable experiences with thrill seekers from all over the world.
You don’t need to be an extreme athlete to experience the best of Ticino. We’ll take you out of your comfort zone, show you the incredible beauty of Ticino and create memories that last forever!

Zach grew up in Alaska and New Mexico, after his 6-month career as an engineer he started working as a canyon guide in Moab, Utah. Since then, he guided various adventure activities around the globe before settling in Ticino. When he isn’t working he is flying his paraglider, riding whatever has two wheels and in winter he is skiing all over the planet. He’s also licensed tandem paragliding pilot and raft guide.

If canyoning was a science, Reto would have his PhD. When he is finished with his work canyoning, he goes for some more canyons and when he is on holidays, he goes canyoning again. First descents, canyon bolting, name it and he has done it. He jumps from things that people are afraid of abseiling. His deep knowledge is inspiring and excitement for canyons contagious. If you want to know anything about canyoning, he is the right person to ask.
In winter, when he is not canyoning (yes, he does go to the canyons even in winter!), he is a professional ski teacher.
We are really lucky to have him on our team!

Klara is from the Czech Republic and after short career as a lawyer, she escaped into the wild, lived around the planet, guided on horses in Canada, was working as a rainforest ranger in Sumatra, or also as a guide in Cuba and many various jobs in between. She is behind all the management and office work, so she is thrilled when she can work in the actual canyon. When she is done having fun at work, she can’t sit still, so she goes for more fun with paragliding, motorbiking, freediving, climbing, biking, skiing in winter or anything active, preferably with Zach 🙂
