Become a guide

Becoming a guide has always been my dream. Growing up in the Ecrins, I was lucky to discover this incredibly varied profession, which can be practiced all year round. That’s what I love about the mountains—no matter the season, I enjoy wandering and exploring this amazing playground, with a slight preference for skiing :)

So I started training in Chamonix at the end of summer 2023, and I hope to share my passion very soon!

La Grave BB

Originally from La Grave, I believe this place has played a big part in the person I have become. It’s not a resort, but a village with a cable car. It’s an almost 100% Freeride area, and a pretty remote valley where you can enjoy the peace of the mountains. It’s a bit like a Gaulish village, where everyone finds their place and comes together around the same passion: Freeride skiing.

I was looking for a way to dig a little deeper into the spirit that drives us at the foot of La Meije, and making a film turned out to be a great way to discover the Ski Bums of La Grave.

But what exactly is a Ski Bum? Good question! Everyone can be a little different, but I think the common thread among all of them is a passion for skiing that comes before everything else!

But to learn more, you have to discover our group of Ski Bums made in La Grave in La Grave BB :)

Lagoped Family

Living in the mountains pushes us to be as close to the elements as possible, living simply. I find this authentic spirit with Lagoped, which has succeeded in being as eco-responsible as possible for a textile brand. Recycled clothes, produced nearby, all while offering a range that keeps me dry both summer and winter!

So it is with pride that I joined the Lagoped Family and share my vision of the mountains with the other members! Especially Paul de Pourtales who also skis at La Grave and probably spends as much time in the air as his skis do on the ground!
