Who is eva?
Hi! I’m Eva! Born in the Czech Republic in 1993 and shaped by a life of movement, mountains, and explorations.
I grew up in a little village called Dolní Žleb, surrounded by sandstone rock towers and steep forest trails on which I have spend all my time after school. My parents were climbers, and the vertical world was part of my childhood. (By the way, if you’ve never been there, you should go. It’s magic!)
Even before I could really walk, I spent my early years partly in Switzerland, spending time at Coaz Hütte in the Engadin, where my dad worked. I learned to move through alpine terrain as a toddler, and by the time I was a teenager, I was already climbing 4,000 meter peaks with my family.
At 15, I fell in love with floorball and for the next 12 years, that became my life. I played in the Czech Republic’s top league and later moved to Switzerland to play professionally in the NLA and also to study, what should have been just a year turned into 7 years and counting.
But somewhere along the way, everything changed.
Through injury and recovery, I found myself returning to the mountains, longing for the peacefulness they bring. At first, I could barely run 3 km on flat ground. Then, one day, a guy invited me to go hiking, but instead, he handed me a running vest and poles and said, "We’re going to run up this mountain."I laughed and said “What, how can I run up? Is that even possible?” …. And then I started, and suddenly it all fell into places, and I felt like I was born to do this.
And since then I never stop, it has been now 5 years and this moment shaped everything in my life. From running on easy trails, to climbing on the high mountains, to solo one pushes to 4000, to climbing the Eiger and Matterhorn, mountains which felt unreachable, mountains I never even though of standing on!
I cannot take you up to those mountains, but I would love to share with you the love for just being in them, to feel present and breathe. For a moment to forget all what is heavy and be fully present.
So, here I am starting this new adventure, guiding hikes, runs, and cycling through the places I know by heart. From wildflower lined paths to glacier views, to quiet moments by the river. I want you to experience that type of adventure where you reconnect with nature and with yourself.
Let’s go outside.
Let’s move.
Let’s be present!
Eva
(By the way all the photos on this page were taken by me. Just like the stories, the trails, and this whole little corner of the internet it’s all made with love, by hand, and from the heart)
