Mountain Guide

Neuchatel, Switzerland

Ever since I was born in 1977, I was motivated by a force of freedom. As an adolescent I sought to plunge deep into myself; to know and find myself. I found an answer in the wide open spaces, deserts, journeys and bike rides across thousands of kilometers that nature offers.

Nature is a way to connect with oneself, others and the 'rest'. Sharing these amazing experiences makes them so deep that they defy the very mountains, as we vibrate with a real and powerful energy. Through flora and fauna, through plain and summit: nature teaches and shows us the way.

I live at Jura Neuchâtel. I am married and a father of two small children. I have also been responsible for mountaineering camp and have received a "J + S" recognition (Youth and Sports). I will happily guide you across these mountains.

Reviews with photos

Sylvain was excellent. We had trouble with the weather but he worked his magic and adjusted a few things to still make the attempt and successful summit happen. Thank you for such an epic adventure! 5
Sylvain Lechaire Is the BEST mountain guide I have ever had in my 30 years of hiking, trekking, climbing and mountaineering. Firstly, he is very attentive to my techniques, ability and aspiration. He teaches and inspires. He is also very careful when it comes to safety. With his expert guidance, I managed to summit the Matterhorn! It is a peak that I have been dreaming of standing on top. For an old folk of 64, it is not an easy goal! 5

Sylvain was an excellent guide for this climb to Matterhorn. He has very good knowledge and experience about climbing in general and specifically about Matterhorn, that helped us be well prepared for the trip and not at least guide us to the top and down safely. Also the aspiring guide Nicolas did an excellent job, doing his first trip to Matterhorn. We would highly recommend Sylvain as a guide for climbs in the Swiss alps.

Sylvain was a fantastic guide. His knowledge, experience and motivation to get the best out of his clients and ensuring objectives are met safely are second to none. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sylvain again when I next climb in the Alps!
