Pascal Franceschi – Guide de Haute Montagne

"After twenty eight years spent in the mountain specialty (PGHM) in the Alps, Reunion Island and the Pyrenees, I wanted to move on, in particular to pass on my taste for the mountains and to share new experiences.
Mid-mountain guide and high-mountain guide, I invite you to discover the Ariège mountains in all their splendor in many forms: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, climbing, Via Ferrata, mountaineering, hiking.
Discover the many mountain lakes that Ariège has and that we call here "ponds".
I'm waiting for you, so don't hesitate to contact me to escape from everyday life! ”Pascal
