“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.”

Meet Mark, Your mountain guide

The mountains have been my playground for as long as I can remember, and each season brings its own magic to explore. Summers in the Alps offer a different kind of adventure—slower-paced but equally rewarding, with breathtaking trails, hidden alpine gems, and serene vistas.

With years of experience as a mountain leader, I’m passionate about guiding others to discover the beauty and tranquility of these landscapes. Whether it’s hiking, trail running, or multi-day hut tours, I’m here to create a safe and personalised experience for your summer adventure.
