Since his early youth, Bernd Ritschel has lived in and loved the mountain world of the Ötztal Alps. He was born in Wolfratshausen, Upper Bavaria, in 1963 and now lives with his family in Kochel am See. For more than 25 years, his photographic work has focused on the Ötztal Valley and the neighbouring mountain regions. Several illustrated books about the Ötztal Alps, numerous calendars, exhibitions, posters and postcard series reflect the diversity and passion of his photography in this region.
