About Leo

I am a state-certified canyoning instructor; I am self-employed and previously worked in the environmental sector. I am passionate about the mountains and decided to change careers without losing sight of my previous studies. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the environment and the natural world to complement the activity and to learn a little more about the fragile environment that surrounds us.

Getting to know Leo

I enjoy passing on my knowledge; when we’re canyoning, I don’t rush through it – I take the time to explain what’s happening, to help you become independent in your progress, and to help you push your limits without scaring you, all within a safe environment.

My secret spot

If I shared it, it wouldn’t be a secret any more ;)

My calling

I originally worked in an environmental consultancy, specialising in mountain environments. I decided to change career paths without forgetting what I’d learnt during my studies. Today, I’m always keen to share my knowledge alongside my passion. So it’s no longer just about going on a canyoning trip – you get to discover and learn about the environment you’re exploring!

My ideal companion

Everyone! Young and old, with family or friends – there’s bound to be a canyon that’s just right for you! I’m here to help you get the most out of the activity and, above all, out of yourselves. You’re not just a customer; you’re someone looking to experience something out of the ordinary. I go canyoning every day; you might only do it once, so I’ll make sure that one time is truly memorable. That’s what my job is all about: sharing the experience.

What drives me

I’m lucky enough to have a job I’m passionate about… I wouldn’t change it for anything!

Coffee at the refuge or a bivouac?

Coffee at the mountain hut and blueberry tart!

Sunrise or sunset?

Sunset over the mountains with a thin layer of cloud, casting a pink glow.

What makes my terrain unique

Grenoble is quite special – you’ve got all the comforts of a city and the mountains right on your doorstep! If I want to, I can even cycle to the canyon along the cycle paths, and that’s no mean feat!

My proudest moment

To go back to the car and realise that people have experienced something they’ll never forget!

The adventure that started it all

I’ve always wanted to pass on my knowledge! I’ve done so by teaching at university and volunteering with the French Alpine Club; my path has actually unfolded quite naturally.
