Weekend walks with kids
I'm Anselm. I'm a dad in Switzerland who takes his two children walking and cycling in the Alps every weekend, and I sell printable checklists and planners, plus two video courses.
A short letter every Sunday from the trail: one route, one packing tip and one thing to try with the children.
The checklist I print every Friday, with a compass at the top: what each line is for.
Finding a first hill path for small walkers: not too steep, not too long and with a view at the top.
How I let the children choose the next walk, and what we look at on the map together.

Opening the map on the bench with the children, choosing a path and checking how long it will take with short legs.
Everything that goes in the rucksacks and the car boot on Friday evening, so Saturday starts with a short walk to the car.
Two mugs of soup, bread and a small camp stove: how we cook on the path and how the children help.
A flat path to a mountain lake, a blanket and a picnic that does not need much carrying.

I live in Switzerland with my two children, a son and a daughter, and almost every weekend we go out into the Alps. Some days it is a ridge walk, some days a bike ride on a farm track, and some days only a flat path to a lake and a picnic. We are not athletes. We are a dad and two children who like to be outside.
I film the weekends because other parents ask how it works: how I choose a route, what goes in the boot, how to cook lunch on a camp stove. What I sell are the things I use at home: a weekend checklist, a route planner, packing lists, camp stove meals and two video courses on walks and rides with small legs. I make videos about family weekends, not mountaineering.
