[{"content":" I have been close to the mountains and hiking since childhood, when my parents would take me on hikes during the holidays. Later, I discovered the magic of trekking and bivouacking. In 2022, I settled in Grenoble and embarked on the adventure of mountain guiding.\nI pursue this activity alongside a job as a building engineer, specializing in energy retrofit. These two activities are deeply complementary for me: as an engineer, I want to contribute to a more environmentally respectful future. The mountains, by constantly amazing me, remind me why I dedicate my energy every day to preserving the natural environments in which we live.\nI feel this wonder at all scales: from the flower I observe with a magnifying glass to the immensity of the landscapes and the unleashing of the elements, including unexpected encounters with animals or the special atmosphere of a misty forest. If I take people to the mountains, it\u0026rsquo;s to share and pass on this love and curiosity for what surrounds us!\nAs a mountain guide in training (soon to be qualified, all being well! I have had the prerogatives to lead groups since 2023), I accompany you safely on day trips or half-day trips (including themed outings), or on multi-day treks around Grenoble or elsewhere in the Alps.\nI am trained in non-violent communication: benevolence, listening, and attention are part of my values. Limiting my impact when going to the mountains is also close to my heart: whenever possible, I offer trips accessible by public transport; when this is not possible, we maximize carpooling.\nLooking forward to seeing you on the trails!\n","date":null,"permalink":"https://faustine-geromel.com/en/","section":"","summary":"","title":""},{"content":"Whether you\u0026rsquo;re just passing through Isère or a year-round Grenoble resident, come discover or rediscover Chartreuse, Vercors, and Belledonne.
