Corentin

Trained as a special education teacher, I left my lovely little Belgium to settle here and surround my daily life with these mountains.

It is this passion for the peaks that led me to train as a mountain guide.

Being able to share what I love, to take people on lost paths, I have managed to turn my passion into my profession.

Also a trail running coach, I enjoy bringing my expertise to help you progress.

In 2024, I joined the UYN Trail team and benefited from the valuable advice of Sébastien Chaigneau as a coach.
