Description
Embark on a journey to become a seasoned alpinist and learn the fundamentals of mountaineering while conquering the amazing peaks of Switzerland: Aiguille du Tour and Tête Blanche.
Experience the enchantment of glacier travel with a short hike from a cable car, followed by a glacier crossing on the way to the hut, where we'll spend an unforgettable overnight stay.
As the first rays of sunlight touch the mountains, we'll begin our summit ascent to either Aiguille du Tour or Tête Blanche. Aiguille du Tour is an iconic mountain in the Mont Blanc Massif with relatively accessible routes and moderate difficulty level; it serves as an excellent training ground for aspiring alpinists who wish to develop their skills.
Tête Blanche, on the other hand, can offer a challenging yet rewarding ascent. As we near its summit, the terrain gradually steepens, but the unparalleled view of the surrounding sea of glaciers from the top makes every ounce of effort worthwhile.

Mountain Guide
On foot, on skis, summer and winter, it is since my childhood that I have followed in my mother's footsteps in the many "Sunday walks". These days left unforgettable memories but above all taught me to love discovering new horizons, climbing new mountains and simply enjoying the huge playground that we have around us every day.
After an adolescence devoted mainly to climbing, I decided to participate in the Espoir group of Valais guides to deepen my skills in mountaineering and skiing. These few years of training convinced me that my future job would be that of mountain guide, training which I completed in the fall of 2021.
With the aim of making each day memorable, I would have great pleasure in helping you discover new horizons on skis, in mountain boots or in climbing shoes.
