About the guide

I was born on 01/26/1991 in Clusone, at the foot of the Presolana mountain, in the province of Bergamo. I grew up in a small town in Valcamonica (Bs), a glacial valley that runs from the Adamello down to Lake Iseo.

I graduated in Law at the University of Padua, but my passion for mountain adventures led me -a month after graduation- to the examinations to access the course of aspirant mountain guide, sure that that was my path. I obtained my license to practice as an Aspirant Mountain Guide in October 2022.

Going to the mountains, climbing, skiing, exploring trails, eating and sleeping under the stars... they all were ways to look for a simple way of life, the one that I felt was getting harder and harder to find in the path of a lawyer.

I decided to change my life to lead my guests on adventures and rediscover the sense of simplicity and authenticity that a day in the mountains can bring.
Moving to Sudtirol-in Appiano sulla strada del vino (Bz)- was a logical and natural choice for my life.


I started guiding in Nov 2023, offering climbing days at Arco, skitouring/ice climbing days in the Dolomites and a lot of avalanche trainings!

During a day in the mountains with someone, I love the authenticity of the relationship that is created between people, who show themselves for who they are, take off their masks… the social and cultural barriers fade and special connections grow.

In the mountains you are led to open up and share the physical effort, the mental effort, the wonder for the beauty of the lights and colors of the mountains, the emotions and satisfaction for sharing a climb, or those for giving up.

What I enjoy most is climbing the rock routes that represent mountaineering history.

Of the Dolomites I love the colors of the rock, from yellow, to gray, to pink and red at sunset...sometimes it feels like you can walk on the moon! They are unique mountains, an area to visit and experience at least once in a lifetime, maybe with skis on your feet or hands on the rock!!!

Outside the Dolomites I love my home mountains of the Adamello group, still very wild and rough, with sharp granite spires! ...where you still meet more ibex than people!!!

Then I have in my heart the granite slabs of Val di Mello, where I have had some very strong experiences together with friends climbing the classic routes opened by Sassisti in the years of the claim of climbing for climbing's sake, without reaching peaks, without north walls and with no other purpose than rock and adventure, even on climbing routes of only a few pitches .

I´m crazy about peanut butter, which I often prepare at home! I love some local delights like apple Strudel and Kaiserschmarren!


When I am not climbing I like to play guitar or piano, read books or have a beer at the lake with friends!

My motto? Live simply!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
