My name is Maarten Hendriks, I am an aspirant mountain leader (SBV), certified trail running guide (ASTA) and certified Swiss athletics running trainer for adults (ESA) and children (J+S).

I am Dutch and have moved with my wife Maartje to Switzerland in 2013. Since 2022 we live in Willigen in the community of Schattenhalb next to Meiringen in the Jungfrau region. My wife is working as a pediatrician in the village. Meanwhile I am running the house, the children and guiding you on the trails in our region. I do work for myself as well as for several organisations like run the alps and bergtrails. As a running coach I am active in the Willigen running group. At our accommodation Spring Inn I will take care of our guests and from time to time I organize events.

I do love to run a lot and join into some races from time to time as well, mostly marathon distances with lots of elevation. What you will probably not expect is that I do also enjoy our mountains on a lower pace. Because I love exploring and learning about our nature and climate while hiking as well as snowshoehiking through our beautiful valleys . Next to that you can find me on my racing bike, cross country skiing and ski mountaineering.
