Kristina Wetter

Kristina Wetter grew up in Germany and for the last 20 years has lived in Switzerland, Australia, Germany (once again), and the UK. She started her professional career as a social support worker, working in a residential setting with adults with learning disabilities, but then began the process of becoming an Outdoor Facilitator in 2001, working full time as an Outdoor Instructor and Expedition Leader since 2006. She lived in Scotland for two winters to work as a lift operator on Cairngorm Mountain, and somehow the Scottish Highlands seem to be a place she keeps coming back to. “I love to be in the mountains, to walk and scramble, or in the Alps or at other higher altitude ranges around the world. If you add winter to it, which is my possibly my favorite time of the year to go walking, mountaineering, or snowshoeing—perfect!”
