Mountain Guide

I’m Riccardo Olliveri, class 1975, mountain guide, paraglide pilot and engeneer, co-founder of the group Mountain Passion with other three guides, able to substitute me whenever unavailable.

I live at Turin, but I am resident in the Alps where I practice the mountaineering activity all through the year; I love the void and I play with it every time I can on rock, ice, dry tooling and also skiing.

It’s with great passion that I continue practicing the mountaineering activity at high level trying to share with whoever interested in doing it, starting people to alpinism and enjoying of their progresses.

I love travelling and practicing activity all over the world, have been organizing climbs, flights and expeditions to Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia, Himalaya, Pakistan, Morocco, Kenya, Norway, Spain, Iceland, France, Switzerland, Greece, Jordan, Brazil, Japan, Canada, USA…

I cooperate as testimonial and consultant for Montura, Scarpa, ATK, Kæstle ski, Edelweiss, Arva, Cebè and Grivel.

BENJAMIN

Riccardo was an exceptional guide. On this 4 day skiing trip with him, he taught me how to ski tour and took me to many incredible locations. He was happy and able to help me whenever I got to a difficult location on the mountain and ensured I was always comfortable with what I was doing. Additionally, he is quite a great photographer so I got many nice photos from the adventure. I would definitely recommend Riccardo and this trip for anyone who is interested in trying off-piste skiing or ski touring.

Lisa

I did the 4 day off piste at Mont Blanc. Riccardo is a very patient,funny and professional guide. He definitely speaks all 3 languages fluently and is accessible to ask questions and plan your ski trip. His vast knowledge about the mountain and skiing are incredible.He is always on time and checks the weather the night before to determine the iternary for the next day. He is very organized and helpful too. He even came with me to get my ski gear. He will always give you suggestions on which mountain and will ask what you would like to do. Due to the bad weather, I got to ski La Flegere and Le Tour. The views were still incredible and we had fresh powder snow. I had a great time and learned alot from him. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget and would definitely recommend him.
