Amongst his first ascents were:

North-west face of Piz Scerscen on 9 July 1890 (with L. Norman-Neruda)
North-east face of Piz Roseg on 16 July 1890 (with L. Norman-Neruda)
East-north-east ridge of the Ober Gabelhorn on 1 August 1890 (with L. Norman-Neruda)
"Norman-Neruda route" on the north-east face of Lyskamm on 9 August 1890 (with L. Norman-Neruda and J. Reinstadler)
Nadelgrat from the Hohberghorn to the Lenzspitze in 1892
Peuterey ridge to the summit of Mont Blanc via a couloir on the Brenva face on 15–19 August 1893 (with Paul Güssfeldt, Emile Rey and César Ollier)

First traverse from the Italian side of the Porta da Roseg on Piz Roseg on 21 June 1898 (with M. Barbaria)
