Pure Words.

Pack the backpack, check the map, head out – that’s exactly what Marina loves. As a hiking guide in training (SBV), she’s out exploring new regions, lesser-known trails and unique routes. Always with the goal of creating memorable experiences for our community.

Marina has a keen sense for places you won’t find on Google – and for people who enjoy being outdoors. Whatever excites or inspires her, she shares with the community: online on beAnywhere or out there on a hike together.

For Marina, beAnywhere means: a thirst for discovery with a view. Real outdoor experiences that connect – and make you want more.

Education and membership

Certified hiking guide (SBV) in training

"Hiking boots laced, backpack on, brain in free-roam mode – that’s my happy place. I’m Marina – environmental engineer, designer, communications expert, and above all: someone who thrives outdoors. Most of all on narrow trails between endless green 🌲 and raw rock.

Outside is where I feel best. Hiking, discovering, moving together – that’s my thing. That’s why I’m currently training to become a certified hiking guide with SBV. Because nature experiences should be more than just fun – they should also be safe, meaningful, and well-led. I’m also a member of ASAM, the Swiss association of hiking guides.

My studies in environmental engineering and my job as a digital product designer at Gyden? Always along for the ride – providing solid knowledge and a bigger picture view. I love planning with a clear mind and a lot of heart – sustainably, thoughtfully, and with a good dose of creativity.

With maremountain, I bring together movement and relaxation. With beAnywhere, I share my love for the mountains. And when I’m not outside? I tell the stories – honestly, openly, and always with a little wink."

What we see touches our heart.

Pure Emotions.

Sometimes, one glance into the valley is enough to forget what was on your mind just moments ago. Nature doesn’t impress with grandeur, but with quiet wonders. Out on the trail, you quickly learn: wonder is something you can practice – one step at a time.

Pure Details.

A magnificent butterfly, a rare alpine flower or the weathered wooden planks of a half-ruined shack. Our nature usually has more to offer than we can see on the way. Taking time for these small details is a very special experience.

Pure Hikes.

Being outside is real. No Wi-Fi, no small talk – just fresh air, the trail or crunching snow under your feet, and a breeze to clear your head. Hiking isn’t about escaping. It’s about arriving. And sometimes, it’s exactly what’s missing when everything gets too much.
