Alexis
Alexis

Alexis, a state-certified mountain guide, is passionate about understanding human nature and the relationship between body and mind. Whether through rehabilitation (physiotherapy), teaching yoga, or leading treks in the wilderness, his intentions remain the same: to offer experiences that help people connect with their true selves. Because, according to him, that's where true well-being resides.

He enjoys connecting with people in the mountains, where everything is simpler and more authentic. During these trips, he shares his way of recharging: the wonder of wild landscapes.

Management

Security

Your mountain guide is a state-certified professional experienced in leading groups in wilderness environments. They have extensive knowledge of the routes and are trained to adapt to adverse weather conditions. Ultimately, they retain sole discretion over the program and may modify it in case of safety concerns. They also carry a radio to contact emergency services and a survival kit that they are equipped to use in an emergency. This does not replace the small personal first-aid kit you should carry with you (a few bandages, medical supplies you are accustomed to using).
