About the guide
Stefano
Mountain Guide
I have learned to dream simply by observing.
Climbing, travelling, music, people are my greatest passions for sure. .
I love every aspect of mountains my favourite areas are certainly the Argentera massif, Finale and the Val Pennavaire, places where it all started.
Born in 1983, I come a a small inland village in western Liguria, the place where I grew up and where a bit by chance I took my did my first moves, starting to play on a splendid limestone literally in front of my home.
Getting involved in alpine mountaineering with its various activities started slowly bit by bit, first rock climbing, then mountaineering, followed by ice climbing and then ski mountaineering.
Felling that I constantly wanted to spend more time in the mountains I decided to start the training to become an alpine guide.
These days I am a full time alpine guide, dedicating the winter and spring months to freeride and ski mountaineering from the Alps to Northern Europe. I dedicate the rest of the year to the fantastic opportunities Liguria has to offer (particularly the area around Finale).

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
