The expert's opinion

  1. You are an experienced off-piste skier: you know how to stay in control on your skis and adapt to any snow conditions.
  2. You already have experience in ski touring: kick turns, skins, avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe - these words hold no secrets for you.
  3. You are capable of stringing together days with 1000m of elevation gain at altitudes exceeding 3500m.
  4. You practice an endurance sport 2 to 4 hours per week
  5. Carrying a bag doesn't scare you: you're ready to carry 10kg on your shoulders, uphill or downhill.

Thibaut

A passionate mountaineer, I discovered rock climbing in the Bouches-du-Rhône region before immersing myself in ski touring in the Écrins mountains. Since then, I've explored various mountain ranges, from Mont Blanc to Dévoluy, seeking enjoyment and shared experiences. For me, the mountains represent the desire to experience human adventures and to accomplish projects together.

Sandro

With 30 years of experience as a high-mountain guide, I share my techniques with you, but above all, my joy in experiencing nature to the fullest. Together, we will explore my vision of the mountains: fabulous landscapes, breathtaking peaks, new cultures, and perhaps… the summit of your dreams!

I'll be waiting for you, whether you're on skis, in climbing shoes, crampons, or simply in hiking boots.
