Summer, his new passion is the trail, he has always run in the mountains but now it’s more serious! His favorite distance: 40 km!
He likes to watch chamois, take pictures in all seasons, climb to the Lac du Retour, bike to the Col du Petit Saint Bernard, fish in the torrent and pick up chanterelles. He knows how to hum the Tyrolean traverse and he sing for the local choir “La voix des Alpages”.
