Christian Türk

IFMGA Swedish Mountain Guide

Christian was born in Sweden and had his first skiing experience in Austria as a youngster.

His passion for theoretical physics led him to Italy in the early 00’s and when he was not working he spent endless hours skiing and climbing.

Christian has now swapped physics and mathematical research for high-tec garments, climbing equipment and fat skis and works full time as a IFMGA mountain guide.

Christian loves every mountain activity and follows the seasons - rock climbing in spring and autumn, ice climbing and skiing in winter, alpine climbing in summer. He loves nothing more than sharing his passion for the mountains and at the same time combining this with a deeper discussion about the origin of the Universe!

Christian is a member of the Swedish Mountain Guides Association (SBO) training committee.

Testimonials For ISM

Thanks for organising an excellent week. The course format, accommodation and set up was perfect. The guide was outstanding and gave us a full week of constructive tuition. I was able to put his training into practice the following week when I met up with a friend and did the Cosmiques Arrete.

Classic AlpinISM (Instructional Course)

The course was excellent, lots of variety and provided me with a good range of skills. Loved reaching the summit of the Weissmeis, for such a nervous and unconfident novice like me, I gained a real sense of achievement from the ascent and the whole week. Huge thanks to Pat.

Our three guides were all excellent: Thomas, Phil and Paulo. I can't speak highly enough of them. They were all good company and superb climbers, and patient with us all.
