Olivia Sandri
Mountain Leader since 2018, UIMLA member
Being born by the Leman lake, with a splendid view on the surrounding summits, I have discovered the beauty of the mountains since childhood during family walks. Whether to observe frogs, getting pricked by thistles, taste alpine cheese in a hut or arrive at a summital cross, I have always loved spending time in the Jura, the Prealps and the Alps. Ski lessons and family hikes gradually transformed into ski touring, climbing, trekking and alpinism.
After a few years spent abroad, I had a great pleasure, once back, to make discover the alpine nature to friends visiting from abroad. That is why I decided to turn to the mountain leader training of the Association Suisse des Guides de Montagne, which I completed with a federal diploma. This activity allows me to transmit the simple joy of walking in the mountains, my knowledge on alpine nature and culture, the entanglement of human activities in this “wild” space.
Therefore, I propose planned hikes (see upcoming events) or on-demand (see activities), next to my job in public health. Family walk, thematic nature hike by foot or on snowshoes, sports hikes, corporate incentive, multiple days trekking, trainings, I adapt willingly to the conditions and the desires of the guests that I guide. I am looking forward to go away (by public transport if possible) with you for a small or big tour!
