See what our customers have to say about our tours, guiding and books.
The drone course was great. I was always worried about losing the drone, but now I've learned how to navigate. That was very important to me. The many practical exercises and tips motivate you to practice on your own. You also learn a lot about the current regulations. Marius took a lot of time and was a patient teacher :-)) I highly recommend the course!
45° Ski Alpinism: A must for anyone who loves steep slopes (and their skis). As a passionate alpinist who prefers to ski rather than walk, I was excited about this book. And I wasn't disappointed! 45° Ski Alpinism is not just another guide for ski tourers. It is a collection of breathtaking adventures on the steepest slopes of the Alps. As hidden in the name, it includes 45 legendary steep faces from the Zugspitze to Monviso and from Mont Blanc to Jalovec. What I particularly liked is the mix of descriptions of the routes and the author's personal anecdotes. You can feel the passion that is in every line. And the photos are just pretty impressive and high quality. The entire book also makes a very high-quality impression. Of course, this book is not suitable for beginners. But if you are an experienced ski alpinist looking for a challenge, then 45° ski alpinism is for you. It is an essential companion for anyone who loves the thrill of skiing down steep slopes. In the online version, the GPS track is even available, which can be quite helpful in itself. Desirable: A small indication as to whether the starting point can be reached by public transport would have been desirable in terms of the environment. Conclusion: 45° Ski Alpinism is a must for anyone looking for inspiration and stimulation, coupled with great pictures and GPS tracks. Absolute purchase recommendation from me.

Great workshop and a wonderful Palatinate tour. Great tips and lots of information from Marius. Someone here knows what they're talking about. Thanks for the great day.
In 2024, I participated in workshops in the Dolomites and in the Alps in Austria. Both trips were well-organized and full of amazing places to photograph. Marius created a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere, which really helped me improve my skills. If someone is looking to combine travel and photography, I highly recommend it!
A very good course with friendly and competent instruction. Individual tips and tricks, as well as general guidelines, round out the workshop. I think it's highly recommended not only for beginners, but also for advanced students thanks to the knowledge imparted by a trained eye and extensive experience! Thank you very much, it was really fun, and I'm looking forward to more.
Very good individual coaching for my Mavic Mini. Preparation and communication were top notch the entire time.
Clients and References
In addition to satisfied businesses customers, we are proud of happy workshop customers and their rapid learning success. Here is what they say and achieved:
- Our client Mathias obviously had some good progress on a 2-day photo workshop in the Alps (near Munich). Here is his Instagram.
- With Stefan we went on a quite sporty 3-day-hike in the magical Alpstein Mountains in Switzerland. Sure, he learned a lot about landscape photography, but also he learned about Astro Photography and Outdoor Sports Photography
Mountain Moments is the perfect place to enjoy a unique photographic view of the mountain world while enjoying the pleasure of hiking.

Marius is an experienced photographer and mountaineer who is didactically well prepared for my wishes and made a unique photo shooting in the Alpstein possible.
Pure unforgettable mountain and photo experience. As an add-on there was a manual for the photography of a fantastic starry sky. This intensive and stimulating weekend was supplemented with very qualified feedback on the composition of the picture.
- With Christoph (his flickr) we went on an evening workshop in the Tyrolean Mountains near Innsbruck and showed him astrophotography in the Alps:
“The workshop was very informative for me, entertaining and I took a lot with me, especially it was a great adventure at night up on the mountain! I think we only talked about 12 hours and there was always something new. Thumbs up!”

Our values
Photography, mountaineering, nature and human togetherness
Nature and sustainability
Yes, travel and mobility cause environmental costs. We burn fuel when we travel by car, roads and lifts are built and our cameras have to be made. We strive to live on a small, sustainable foot. We organise our workshops in a way that all starting points can be reached by public transport and we also like to organise a carpool.
Every human activity in the limited free nature has an effect on them. We try to keep these to a minimum when we advertise our offers. We also give you tips on how you can enjoy nature more sustainably in many – sometimes large, sometimes small – steps. Here we try to pass on our tried and tested experiences in the mountains to you in the best possible way. Delicious regional and seasonal food is our passion. We are happy to give you tips on which products you don’t need to buy and which products don’t need to be produced with them.
Fairness and transparency
Fair treatment of people, animals and nature is important to us. We always try to set a good example in our workshops and on site. We leave no visible waste in nature and behave as respectfully as possible towards animals and plants.
On request we will explain our transparent price structure. If you have a legitimate reason, through no fault of your own, not to be able to afford our workshops, please feel free to talk to us about it and explain to us what is possible for you, perhaps we can find a solution together that is acceptable in principle.
Inclusion
Most of our photo adventures require you to be physically fit and sometimes resilient and experienced. Not all people enjoy such a demanding, sporty photo mountain hike or can move freely in nature. If you are enthusiastic about mountains, nature and photography, write us your request and we will see if we can find a way for you to share our passion with us.
Tolerance and openness
All people and animals are treated as fairly as possible. We certainly don’t always succeed, but we try to do our best and are happy to share our knowledge and experience with you.
Honesty
At Mountain Moments, you’re not a number. We do not resell your data (we only collect what is absolutely necessary) and we do not optimize for profit. We are convinced that we can experience an outstanding time together with you and that a fruitful cooperation and good time is worth more than anything you can accumulate with a few numbers and notes.
