Mountain Guide

I started climbing at the age of 12 with the Club Andino in Argentina. From these first weekends in the mountains I felt the passion growing in me, and knew from this start what I would do later on. The dream came true, I became a Montain Guide. Ever since I have been traveling around the world, always searching for mountains to climb; continuously surprised by sunsets and unique sunrises… For many years I guided arrownd Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre range, south of my beloved Patagonia. Now a days my playgrownd is moslty in the heart of the Alps and Patagonia. I try to make each experience special for my clients, adapting to your level and sharing this unique feeling. Come, live big!

What people are saying about Top Mountain

Where do I begin? I had inquired with a recommended guide (from a family friend) who referred me to his colleagues for a trip up Cerro Tronador. Jeremias personally reached out and offered his services, and with multiple issues (gear, arrival times, refugio feasibility, weather) we finalized a plan for the Tronador massif. He personally met with me the morning prior to our climb and arranged for all needed gear (in addition to that which was brought) to include a set of mountain boots which he personally rented for me. He even picked me up from my hotel and drove the 2 hours to Pampa Linda! Our climb was nothing short of spectacular. He balanced challenging me with giving me adequate acclimation during the climb. I always felt well attended on the expedition. He even offered to move quicker on the descent to give me some time alone in my thoughts as we descended. Perhaps best of all, Jeremias allowed great flexibility with payment as I was working through some electronic options - on a weekend - to get him the money for the climb and was very patient with me for this. Absolutely 100% would recommend him as a guide for anyone who wants to trek/climb in Bariloche region and will plan on requesting his services whenever I return for further expeditions. Thank you, Jeremias!!!

Jeremias (and Tobias) adapted our plan on short notice to work around poor weather, allowing us to complete the climb. Jeremias was very kind, patient, safe and good craic all around!

The climb with Jeremias on the Breithorn traverse was incredible and the views on the Matterhorn were stunning. He knew the exact handholds to point out to me even before he got there himself. That was impressive. I've done a lot of climbing and only the routes I've done countless times could I tell you the holds and moves before you're there. That gave me a lot of confidence climbing with Jeremias. I look forward to the next trip with him!
