But all of us we share the same passion for Nature in general and for our beautiful Alps in particular. We do guide Mountain Hiking Tours in our beloved mountains where we grow up: our home.

Who we are
Enrico Randazzo
Certified Hiking Guide - AIGAE
I have been exploring the alps since I was a child and I have always felt the need to hike around, especially looking for trails off the beaten track. As a geographer I am always interested in learning about our planet, trying to be open minded, and sharing experiences. This has brought me to travel in many places around the world always coming back with renewed energy, new friends and some nice stories to tell in front of a good dinner and some red wine.
Elisabetta Cayre
Certified Hiking Guide - AIGAE
Hi! I am Elisabetta, naturalist and plant biologist. I usually work with kids as an environmental educator and I work everyday knowing that a single experience should change the way to live and to relate with nature of my small and bigger customers. I don’t mean mountain as a sport, I have never had the aim of reaching every peak, but if you want to explore, you need to walk and the Alps near Turin are an excellent land for exploration and contemplation of Nature!

As a certified Hiking Guide with a background in Organic Agriculture and Environmental Education, my aim is to share this passion with others for unforgettable experiences.a I hope to introduce little bit of adventure into people's life!
Michele Amadio
Certified Mountain Guide -UIMLA
I have been obsessed by mountains already for so many years. Even in my vacation I always end up climbing somewhere. The passion for the mountain is taking me all the energy but I can’t stop living this way. Spending all my time up there, between the clouds I found a peace that is hard to experience anywhere else. I wanted to share and live this passion with as many persons as possible and that brought me to become a Mountain Guide.
Giulia Marangoni
Certified Hiking Guide - AIGAE
As a biologist I have always wanted to learn more about the aspects of alpine habitats, but I’m also interested in the traditions, tales and communities who lived in our valleys in the past. As an hiking guide, I work both with children and adults. I deeply believe that to educate about nature and mountain is a fundamental tool to preserve the precious Alps heritage.

Cristiano Marsaglia
Certified Hiking Guide - AIGAE
My name is Cristiano, and even if I was born in Torino, in the Western Alps, I have spent most of my adult life abroad: China, Australia and Spain. I love studying foreign languages and practicing rock climbing. I am in love with walking, when I was younger every summer I used to walk from Torino to the seaside through the Ligurian Alps, sleeping outdoors and never knowing where the next stop would be. Recently I became a hiking guide and now for love I live in Verona, that it's a pretty good point of access to the Dolomites area.
Axel Melchiorri
Certified Hiking Guide - GAE Dolomites
Ciao, I'm Axel, Hiking & eBike Guide, born at the seaside and grew up in the mountains. Worldwide traveller since ever, when I was 21 I started to discover the world backpacking. Over the years, I learned to experience the world through my steps. Walking became a necessity, a source of freedom and well-being. I decided to turn my passion into a job and today I carry out my activities mainly in the Dolomites and around Europe, to share time surrounded by nature with other enthusiasts, to appreciate it and learn from it, respecting it.
Federico Borio
Certified Mountain Guide-UIMLA
Since I was a boy I always had a desire to climb, following paved and unpaved roads to reach a peak. Becoming a Mountain Guide was my answer! Living by the outdoors and sharing my passion for adventure. In life we are all faced with tough choices. Every season brings a new opportunity for outdoors. Ski touring, freeride and ice climbing in winter; then, as the snow melts we go to the mountains for mountaineering, rock climbing, hiking and trail running. Let’s go for an adventure!
