The Philosophy

Raffael

Untamed was born from a personal truth.

My name is Raffael and I grew up in the Swiss countryside. I spent my childhood deep in forests, beside cold rivers, and hiking alpine trails. I learned to light fires, name trees, and read the signs of nature – always with a sense of presence and respect. These moments shaped me.

But as life accelerated and success took center stage, nature slowly slipped to the sidelines. Today I know: nothing grounds me more than time outdoors. And I know I’m not alone.

Untamed is built on a simple belief: We all need more wilderness in our lives. Not just as a rare weekend escape, but as a steady source of clarity, creativity, and energy. A way back to what matters.

Untamed offers content, guided experiences, and community – but at the core of everything is one goal: reconnection. With nature. With others. With yourself.

All Are Welcome

You don’t need a fitness level, gear obsession, or outdoor expertise to be part of Untamed. What matters is your willingness to slow down, to be present, and to let nature do what it does best: bring you back to life. (Some of our guided experiences have specific requirements – we’ll let you know.)

Presence Over Performance

Untamed encourages a digital pause. Whenever possible, devices stay in your bag or at home – unless they serve the moment. The wild asks for your full attention. We think that’s a gift.

Respect Is the Starting Point

If we benefit from nature, we must care for it. We follow all local laws and guidelines, leave every place as we found it (or better), and do our best to avoid waste or unnecessary resource use. We tread lightly – out of respect, not rules.
