I am a UIAGM Mountain Guide and ski instructor.<\/p>\n<p>The mountains are where I have always moved, first out of passion, then as my profession. Over time, they have become a space for <strong>exploration, exchange and continuous growth<\/strong>, both in Italy and abroad. From my first days outdoors to major expeditions, I have learned that moving through natural environments means observing, adapting and respecting. Today I share this journey with those who want to set out with me, without shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mankealpi is my world<\/strong>. Sport and nature, routes and journeys born from a simple idea of movement, where relationships, experience and landscape come together.<\/p>\n<p>Sport and travel have always been part of my path, driven by curiosity and a desire to discover. <strong>Ireland and Australia<\/strong> shaped my growth, just as the mountains have: an essential space where dreams and new perspectives can take form. Being a mountain guide and ski instructor is not just a profession, but a way of life made of experiences, movement and genuine connections. In my work, when needed, I collaborate with trusted colleagues who share my approach: attention, care and respect for every person I have the privilege to accompany.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Philosophy<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Movement is in our nature: when the body stops, the mind keeps travelling.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mountain Guide Training and Certifications<br \/>\n<\/strong>UIAGM Mountain Guide, Ski Instructor, Degree in Sports Science, Nordic Walking Instructor, Lifeguard, AECI Recreational and Sport Flying Licence, PADI Open Water Diver Certification, Qualified Mountain Bike Guide, Rope Access Trainer and Operator.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default\"><div data-us-scroll=\"{&quot;from_initial_position&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;start_position&quot;:&quot;25%&quot;,&quot;end_position&quot;:&quot;50%&quot;,&quot;delay&quot;:&quot;0.2s&quot;,&quot;scale_direction&quot;:&quot;up&quot;,&quot;scale_speed&quot;:&quot;0.4x&quot;}\" class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_cdd98496 has_scroll_effects has_scale has_bg_color stretched\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-vwrapper align_none valign_top us_custom_b0fa2443\" style=\"--vwrapper-gap:0.7rem\"><h2 class=\"w-text\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Nature and Landscape<\/span><\/span><\/h2><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>I work in an area where very <strong>different environments<\/strong> exist within just a few kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>Between the Dolomites, the Adamello-Presanella range and Lake Garda, <strong>glaciers, rock faces, alpine lakes, forests and valleys follow one another<\/strong>.
