Meet mark, your ski guide and instructor
With a background as a BASI Level 4 ski instructor and International Mountain Leader (IML), I’ve spent over 15 years guiding clients through unforgettable alpine experiences. From helping first-time skiers find their confidence to leading seasoned adventurers on off-piste challenges or remote mountain trails, my passion lies in creating meaningful connections to the mountains.
My love for the outdoors goes beyond just the activities—it’s about the transformative power of nature. I strive to ensure every client feels safe, empowered, and inspired, whether they’re pushing their limits or simply soaking in the beauty of their surroundings. Whether you’re here to master new skills, reconnect with nature, or create lasting memories with loved ones, I’m dedicated to making your adventure as unique and rewarding as the mountains themselves.
“mark made our hikes an unforgettable experience.”
“I have been with Mark on 2 separate hikes and both were a really pleasurable experience. The 2nd occasion we stayed overnight in a refuge. The trek was perfect for our small group - it was challenging but manageable and we went through varied and stunning landscapes. Mark was very informative, patient and a pleasure to spend time with. I would highly recommend him for all levels of hiking experience.”

A personalised, hands-on approach
What sets me apart is my personalised, hands-on approach. I believe every client deserves an experience tailored to their needs, whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced adventurer. From my adaptive ski lessons to family-friendly hikes, I ensure that everyone feels safe, supported, and ready to explore.
By pitching the right level of trip and adventure, it can be a game changer as to whether the client feels supported and empowered during an adventure out of their comfort zone, rather than scared and uncomfortable, and it is my duty to get this balance right for each individual.
