IFMGA Guide
Hi everyone, I'm Francesco! I'm an IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Italy, based in the beautiful Aosta Valley, right at the foot of Mont Blanc. I've been guiding since 2020, and these days I'm deeply focused on training programs that help people push their limits and build solid mountain knowledge. I believe that a skilled mountaineer should be ready to face any situation. As for me, I keep exploring, climbing, skiing, biking — and often mixing them — to stay sharp and prepared for the next adventure! Instagram: @fra.perrons
