Mountain Guide

When I was young, I played soccer until I discovered mountains and climbing, and it became my passion. I graduated in telecommunications engineering (image and sound) and I worked for more than 20 years as a documentary producer and director, until I decided to become an AEGM mountain and climbing guide. In 2014, a double dream came true: I made a documentary about a Himalaya expedition and climbed Manaslu (8.163m). Documentaries and climbing have allowed me to travel a lot, see the world, make good friends, and meet interesting people. I love to teach and work as a climbing guide. I have a lot of experience and know Barcelona, Montserrat, and Catalonia like the palm of my hand.

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.
