Mountain Leader
Corsica, France
UIMLA
I consider myself a man of many facets, and Corsica sparked in me my most adventurous side
I've fallen in love with its massif and it became obvious that sharing my roamings through the wildest locations of the "island of beauty" is part of what I need for my personal balance and is an endless reward.
A qualified International Mountain Leader (IML) for 5 years, I spend most of my free time hiking with my Border-Collie Hendrix, the nicest dog you'll ever find;). I fancy wild and adventurous but "time-relaxed" hikings : the mountains are an unbelievable experience, and I intend to get the most out of them (and hopefully share it with you)!
I've got some experience with disabilities and mountaineering and really love these kind of challenges. I am a certified Cimgo pilot and would be very glad to help people with disbilities discover this unique tool!
When I'm not in the mountains, I cultivate my other facets. During the winter, I'm a carpenter and all year round I'm trying my best to build a better world. Consequently I'm always aiming to provide you with fresh and organic products from small local farmers.
I am really looking forward to hearing about your expectations and help you build the Corsican hiking project that will suit you perfectly!

Travelling through the Corsican mountains with Xavier and Hendrix, his four legged friend, was a trip we will never forget. Xavier is a brilliant guide, easy to spend time and very knowledgable, we immediately felt relaxed in his company. We worked hard, saw beautiful and remote spots, swam in rivers and enjoyed the delicious local, organic food and wine that Xavier kindly carried along for our journey. It was a unique experience and we really enjoyed sharing it with both Xavier and Hendrix. We are always thinking of when we can next go back!

Randonnée magnifique à travers le paysage corse. Xavier en sait beaucoup sur la culture et la nature corses. Une pause magnifique dans une bergerie avec des chants. En tout cas, une super excursion et un super guide à recommander.
