Jürg Schranz leads our hiking trips through the Bernese Oberland and his insider knowledge and local connections make him a true asset to each one of our groups. Jürg hails from the picturesque ski town of Adelbodon, tucked away in a tranquil alpine valley, and has been hiking these trails since his youth. He has a very easy-going and genuine nature that leaves every Mountain Kora hiker feeling like they have made a new, lifelong friend in this part of the world. 

 

As a certified Swiss Hiking guide, Jürg brings years of in-depth training and experience, helping to keep our guests safe and at ease while traversing majestic alpine valleys or climbing up and over high mountain passes. When he’s not leading Mountain Kora hikes, Jürg runs an outdoor, nature-based event company in his hometown of Adelboden. He is also an exceptional, all-around athlete, enjoying hiking, mountain biking, and skiing—all in his own backyard! Jürg lives with his partner and their young daughter in Adelboden.
