I’m Patrick, a mountain enthusiast who has lived in Haute-Savoie for over 20 years. As the creator and manager of this travel site dedicated to the region, I introduce you to places worth visiting in our beautiful department, along with unmissable tips and recommendations. I also share discoveries from further afield—such as Corsica, Italy, and the Arcachon Basin—based on my own travels. Having completed the state-certified mountain leader training course in the Pyrenees (back in 1996), I also aim to provide advice on how to enjoy the mountains safely and responsibly.
