Luka

Luka was introduced to the alpine world as a child and would go hiking with his father who taught him about the flora and fauna in the region. With mountains being his profession and favorite pastime, you will find him up there most of the time in any season. Luka is also a passionate snowboarder, competing in freestyle and big air disciplines, as well as being the head organizer of the Freestyle National Cup. Luka has an exceptionally thorough knowledge of the local mountains, nature, culture, and traditional food and will also give you the best tips on where to go and what to do after the tour. On the rare occasion when he is not in the mountains, he enjoys canyoning, rock climbing, and surfing.

Bine

Talkative and full of energy, Bine always ensures a good time in the mountains. His passion for outdoor sports has led him to the most inaccessible places, skiing almost vertical walls, and spending his free time searching for the best surfing and mountain biking spots. His adventurous spirit was honed in the Alps, where you can find him during the summer. “I write Alps with a capital A”, he always tells his friends. “They’re my habitat and my strength; I love them for their pale limestone, their sharp peaks, and their purity.” Bine is also a professional ski mountaineer, winning the National Slopestyle Championship seven times and guiding freeride and ski mountaineering tours in Chamonix.
