About

My name is Lucas and together with my wife, Anna, I love to explore the world. Our passion for offroad travel awoke during our gap year in Australia when we almost circumnavigated the continent in our trusty 13-year-old Mitsubishi Challenger. Since then, we have traveled on many more paths off the beaten track, and do not intend to stop anytime soon.

Video Description

Follow us on our winter adventure through Switzerland! Known for its never-ending sunshine and its magnificent mountain scenery - the Engadin is a high alpine valley in Switzerland’s southeastern canton of Graubünden. Staying at Giardino Mountain for 10 nights, we experienced numerous exciting winter sports activities that make a visit to the Engadin an unforgettable experience. Support us: ►► If you would like to support us with our production of travel documentaries, you can now 'buy us a refill of diesel' - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lucastjahn Thank you: A big THANK YOU goes to the sponsors of this trip: Giardino Mountain (https://giardinohotels.ch/st-moritz/), St. Moritz Engadin and Pontresina Bergsteigerschule (https://bergsteiger-pontresina.ch/). We are also very grateful to Claudia Dressler and Sieglinde Sülzenfuhs from Global Communications Experts who came up with the idea of an Engadin Winter Documentary and were responsible for the organization of the trip. Another thank you goes to Maïté Werder from St. Moritz Engadin Tourism who helped us with the correct pronunciation of all Swiss names. We’d also like to thank all our guides and interview partners - Susi Wiprächtiger, Fabio Zanini, Christian Furger, Florian Schwarz, Gregor Stähli, Claudio Cesar & Gian Reto Clalüna.
