"Living only for the summit is pointless. Life happens on the slopes of the mountains, not at the top"
Who I Am
I grew up in San Daniele in a family that wasn’t involved in sports. My father, without really knowing why, started taking my sister, some friends, and me to the mountains in summer, just for easy hikes. In winter, when I saw the mountains covered in snow, I thought they were closed — it never even crossed my mind that you could go up there.
For years, the mountains were just part of the landscape. Everything changed when I turned 18, got my driving license, bought my first maps, and began exploring on my own. Those maps and those first solo outings marked the beginning of a relationship that would never turn back.
I started with hiking and signed up for a climbing course without really knowing what “climbing” meant. But it caught me, and for ten years climbing was my life. I redpointed routes up to 7C, but over time the pressure of grades drained me. After the pandemic, I decided to stop. It was a necessary pause — a mental reset.
In 2021, I found out that my region would host its first International Mountain Leader course, and I didn’t hesitate. I joined the group and today I’m one of the first guides trained there. I never imagined that being in the mountains could become my profession.

My Journey
I work full-time as a guide, mainly organizing and leading one- and multi-day hiking tours. Beyond Italy, I’ve guided groups in Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Nepal, and more. I’m still at the beginning of my career — I’ve only been dedicated to this 100% for a year — but I enjoy every step, from local routes with people from my region to more distant journeys.
What I love most is guiding people who have never been in the mountains before, whether children or older adults. Seeing their faces when they step into the mountains for the first time is priceless. It moves me when they contact me again — but it also makes me proud when they decide to go on their own, because it means my work helped them move safely and respectfully in nature.
The Mountains in My Life
I don’t seek famous summits or records; for me, the best mountain is the one I see from my window. Sometimes, when I need clarity or calm, I simply walk into the forest. I don’t need a big objective — walking, breathing, and feeling part of the environment is enough.
One of my favorite places is the Alta Via Resiana towards Monte Kanin, a wild and spectacular mountain I’ve always seen from home. I didn’t climb it until I was 28, and when I did, I chose the longest and most challenging route. It was intense and transformative. Now I have a new dream: to cycle from the sea to Monte Kanin and then climb it on foot, connecting those two worlds in a single journey.
I’m also deeply interested in “black tracks” — old paths and routes that are now almost forgotten. I enjoy researching and reading old guidebooks about them. I believe part of the future of hiking may lie there: rediscovering ancient, forgotten trails. Even if it seems like everything has already been explored, I believe there are still places waiting to be rediscovered.
My Outdoor Essence
When I head to the mountains, I always bring… A headlamp. Always. You never know what might happen. Once, during a ski touring trip, I lost a ski and the sun set before I could find it. Without light, I had to call rescue services. Since then, a headlamp never leaves my backpack.
If I wanted to introduce someone to the outdoor world, I would take them to… Monte Kanin. For me, it’s the best mountain in the world.
When I’m not in the mountains, I’m… Planning new routes, reading, taking care of my plants, or spending time by the river. I also enjoy training and being with my friends.
The most important thing the mountains have taught me is… That you have to enjoy it. It may sound simple, but it’s the most important lesson. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, change your path. If you don’t enjoy the process — every single step — it doesn’t make sense.
A landscape or moment in the mountains I will never forget… After a muscle injury that kept me from moving for months, I returned to the mountains. I climbed alone to Lake Bordaglia and, when I realized I felt no pain, I started to cry. It felt like coming back to life — after pain, covid, and months of pause… I was finally back in the mountains, back with myself.
