Robert and Melinda fell in love with the mountains on a trip years ago to Colorado, USA. After climbing nearly 14,000 ft, they were hooked. Little did they know, they would have the opportunity to fall deeper in love with the mountains when they relocated to Switzerland in 2007.

​

With a strong reverence for the natural world that developed through hiking, that connection was too strong to abandon when they welcomed their two children into their lives. Plus, they thought raising their children outdoors was a pretty cool thing to do!

​

They have been through most of the stages of parenting outdoors. From hiking while pregnant, to changing diapers and nursing on the trail, to now having two independent hikers by their sides. As their children have aged, Alpine adventures are what they seek. Whether that be spending the night in a remote Alpine hut, visiting a rope park, swimming in an Alpine lake, or simply enjoying a mountain meal, they are always their happiest when they are exploring the Swiss Alps.

​

They published their first books in 2019 and have subsequently followed up with three additional books. Their mission has always been to, "Inspire families to connect with nature one outdoor experience at a time." With that in mind, they have no interest in slowing down!

If you would like to work with Robert or Melinda, they'd love to hear from you.
