Who?
We're a diverse team, consisting of both native Sylt residents and stranded mainlanders—some from the other side of the world. The team is larger during the season, and in winter, the core team stays in the sunny south to hold the fort. Each of us is there for our guests, but of course, each has their own area of expertise.
