Exploring new placesis what most inspires me

I was born in a small village in the heart of the Eastern Dolomites, and ever since my youth, the mountains have been my driving passion. I’m into mountain climbing in all its forms, in both summer and winter, and I work as a full-time IFMGA Mountain Guide. In the past, I worked as a maths teacher and avalanche forecaster.

My passion for climbing the mountains drove me first to explore the Dolomites, and later to take part in various expeditions to the greatest peaks such as in Patagonia, Peru, China and India.

Recently I’ve found my perfect balance among the woods and isolated valleys of Valcellina: among its summits and paths, it’s in fact pretty rare to find another human being if is not your climbing partner. When this happens is somehow a surprising and welcome occurrence. Up here it’s still possible to experience true and wild adventure, in mountains that are still not enslaved to the whims of man.
