| Author | Urs Pfister publishes hiking and cycling books aimed at families and the young at heart. The author lives and works in Switzerland, almost always in the municipality of Egg, sometimes also in the Moosal region. Urs Pfister is the managing director of the company Archivista GmbH and thus also of azurgo.ch, the platform with the help of which the hiking and biking books are published by azurgo.ch. Even as a young boy, Urs Pfister obtained many maps from the local library in order to draw (with pencil!) great routes on them. The later gentle erasing of the paths on the borrowed maps kept him busy for evenings at a time. With the first money earned, maps were purchased for own tours. With these, Urs Pfister discovered Switzerland and the surrounding countries on foot or by bicycle. Today, Urs Pfister plans all his trips with digital maps and travels off the beaten track with smartphone gps navigation. The idea of a diary soon gave rise to the first hiking books. Because creating the maps on the computer took a lot of time, Urs Pfister set out to automate this job. A lot of time passed until the portal azurgo.ch was created. Since then, Urs Pfister is happy that on azurgo.ch not only he, but all outdoor enthusiasts can create their own tour books with a few clicks. |
