Our Passion for the Alps
Meet the team that brings the mountain world of Upper Valais closer to you.
Anja Nehrenheim
Anja lives with 16 Siberian Huskies, a sheepdog, sheep, goats and chickens in a remote alpine pasture hut in the Valais Alps – 2 km from the nearest neighbour. Through Wild Swiss Adventure, she offers husky trekking, sled rides and nature experiences for adults, children, families and people with disabilities. Despite living with MS, Anja has found a way to live and work outdoors, always making decisions that put the health and well-being of her entire team first. Alongside the tours, she runs web design and social media projects for businesses in the Alpine region through alpin-code.ch.
Phil Nehrenheim
Phil has been taking part in national and international sled dog races for years and has regularly competed in multi-day stage races across Europe since 2013. With over 20 years of experience in dog-powered sports and a passion for winter bivouacking, he tackles every challenge together with his team. Over the years, he has shared countless experiences with his Huskies, from breathtaking panoramas under brilliant sunshine to fierce snowstorms and demanding trail conditions. In critical moments, he has often had to make difficult decisions, with the health of the entire team always the top priority. Alongside his work at Wild Swiss Adventure, Phil contributes his technical expertise at Alpin Networks (alpin-networks.ch), where he works in engineering, from planning and implementation to operating and further developing solutions.
