Andermatt Native: Bänz Simmen – Curiosity, Perspective, Nature, & A Life Of Adventure

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Bänz Simmen, a true native of Andermatt, to explore a life shaped by curiosity, movement, and a deep desire to stay in control of one’s own path. From growing up in Andermatt to cycling across continents, through war-torn territories, remote landscapes, and unfamiliar cultures, Bänz reflects on how travel becomes a teacher, and why knowledge, not comfort, is the real luxury. The conversation traces epic journeys by bike to Australia and New Zealand, hiking through the Himalayas, and formative adventures across India. Along the way, Bänz shares lessons on Swiss grit, structure, military service, and the contrast between life in Switzerland and the wider world. They discuss history, culture, powerful storytelling, and how acquiring experiences, not things, shapes character and perspective. Rooted in a profound respect for nature, the episode also dives into environmental responsibility, exposure to the outdoors, and how stories can influence how we treat the planet. From bunkers and caves to Yellowstone National Park, this is a reflection on adventure not as escape, but as a deliberate way of living, guided by curiosity, discipline, and a lifelong relationship with the natural world.
