I'm a mountain leader based in the Arve Valley, and I'd love to show you the riches of the Pays du Mont-Blanc and the surrounding area. Hiking, snowshoeing, wildlife and flora discovery, igloo building or an introduction to avalanche transceivers: I offer a variety of experiences so you can explore, learn and try new things in the heart of nature. I'm curious, passionate about the landscape around me and happy to share what I know. I love revealing the treasures of our mountains and passing on my knowledge, so that your time outdoors is both enriching and a real change of scene. Whether you're coming as a family or with friends, and whether you're a beginner or a keen amateur, I'll tailor each outing to what you want to do and the pace that suits you, for a friendly, refreshing day out. In short, come and share my passion for the mountains!
