Ian Joiner
Christine Ferrieu

Christine was originally a dancer – contemporary dance – and a dance teacher. Chamonix was a revelation: the climbing, this vertical dancing, opened new horizons for her and she fell in love with the mountains and has lived in the valley since 1992.

Her hobbies are mountaineering and ski-touring. She’s been a trek leader since 1992 and has led trekking groups in India, Nepal and Morocco as well as throughout Europe. She is very attentive with clients, and loves sharing her experiences and passions with them. She has a son.

A Trek leader since 1986, and a ski patroller, Jean-Marc has been in love with the alpine mountains since childhood. As well as being an expert skier and an enthusiastic mountaineer he loves travelling and has been on expeditions in Patagonia and in Africa.

He knows the European Alps well and the history of these beautiful mountains always interest him.

His clients appreciate his humour and generosity, and his story-telling. He has two children and lives in Vallorcine, between Chamonix and Switzerland.
