I’m a Mountain Guide… well what does that means ?
The single relation between a mountain guide and its client is what we’re speaking about here. It is at the origin of Mountain Guide’s history . During centuries people have dreamt about summiting high mountains, and they’ve been trusting their guides to make their dreams come true. This unique and friendly relation that you can build amongst rock climbing , ice climbing or off piste is over any word… This is in our mindset to help you to reach the summit and to be sure that you'll success in great holidays.... !.Of course this means that , sometimes, i will have to take harsh safety decisions. But this is a small price for serenity.
In the mid-nineties i came to Chamonix, and i'm still in the valley which , over years , has became my basecamp. Over the last 25 years i've skied and climbed all around the world from Alaska to Nepal thru Norway or Jordan. I think I gained a bit of mountain experience....
I still looking to guide my people to some nice areas but remember i hate crowds!! Beyond guiding i love to open the doors of my secret garden: the Mont Blanc...
I must be honest : I'm a Guide, not God. That means i will help you to reach the summit, i will try to prevent any accident, but you will have to trust me and follow my advices. It is why our relationship is as important as any fitness or technic level. It's also this relation which enforces the feeling of any accomplishment.
I consider that guiding is not a basic commercial act. By hiring my services you also penetrate a very personnal and intimist sphere where , as humans, have interactions. I always try to show people how exceptionnal can be this relation.
I’m not a « Hype »Guide, i don't like crowds, all the « place to be » and « bling-bling ski resort », and i’m not shy to kick your ass if needed…
But i’m also, humoristic, friendly, enthusiastic, i love to share traditions and mountain knowledge, new spots…
I'm proud to say that Alpes Aventures is now renowned for its capacity to give its best to provide solutions, with a personal touch, to thrilling holidays.
