Lisa - Accompagnatrice en montagne
A lifelong mountain enthusiast, Lisa grew up immersed in summer hikes and skiing in the Hautes-Alpes. This deep connection to the region naturally led her to settle near Embrun, where she now lives year-round.
Having become a Mountain Guide a few years ago, she loves sharing much more than just routes: landscapes, knowledge about the natural environment, but also moments of conviviality and discovery. Curious and enthusiastic, she particularly appreciates the encounters and exchanges that arise along the trails.
For her, the mountain is first and foremost a space of freedom, wonder and adventure, accessible to everyone at their own pace.
