Mountain Guide

I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of climbing and the freedom of the outdoors. My journey began on a bike, exploring remote corners of the world, and evolved into a passion for endurance sports like triathlons and ultra-distance mountain running.

With a Master’s degree in Forestry Science and professional experience as a Lab Manager across Europe, I eventually decided to turn my lifelong passion into a career. Becoming a Mountain Guide was the answer and allowed me to live by the rhythm of the mountains and share my love for adventure with others.

I now guide year round — ski touring, freeride, and ice climbing in winter; mountaineering, rock climbing, hiking, and trail running through the warmer months.

Each person’s ambitions are unique, and I design custom programs to match every client’s goals, experience, and dreams.

Whether it’s a one-day climb, a technical face, or a multi-day expedition, I’m here to help you reach it — Let’s go find your next adventure!
