Hi Guidders! 🧡 The mountains have been my lifelong companions. I’ve been exploring them for over 35 years, ever since my parents carried me in a backpack along the trails and summits of the Aosta Valley. And once I started walking on my own… I never stopped. After years of experience and professional training, I chose to become a certified Hiking Guide, driven by the desire to share my passion for nature and help others discover the authentic beauty of the mountains. During my treks, I love creating simple, genuine experiences filled with wonder, because every trail has a story to tell. See you on the trail with the rest of the Guidders community! 🥾🌿
