Your Guides


The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Laurent L.

Laurent L.

Laurent hails from Normandy, France, having grown up in Argentan. In 1991, he obtained his European Mountain Leader certification, and in 1995 he was awarded the coveted patch of the Compagnie des Guides. Laurent has been guiding for MT Sobek since 1995, and is a senior guide on our Alps trips, he has hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc close to 100 times! When he isn't guiding for MT Sobek, he teaches First Aid and Mountain Rescue to mountain and hiking guides. During the winter, he's a ski patrol monitor in the mountains above Chamonix.

Beatrice M.

Beatrice M.

Beatrice is a native of Chamonix, France, and has been guiding professionally in the Alps since 1989. She comes from a family of mountain climbers and her grandfather was also a professional mountain guide. Aside from being an expert hiking guide, Beatrice is also an avid climber and accomplished skier, and is a ski instructor during the winter months. She loves the mountains and will share her enthusiasm and in-depth experience with you during your trip.

Sebastien G.

Sebastien G.

Born and bred in Chamonix, Sebastien learned how to walk on the trails of the Alps. He graduated with a degree in Sport, Tourism & Local Development and qualified as an esteemed Accompagnateur en montagne or International Mountain Leader while living in Southern France. Since then, he has been found trail running all over the mountains from the famous GR20 in Corsica to the Swiss Alps to Andalusia in Spain. In his spare time, he teaches high school students on alpine flora and fauna—and on the skill sets required to become a mountaineer guide.
