Europe Trip Leader

Alban Fiers

Mountains are the rhythm of Alban's life, and he loves exploring them in every possible way—hiking, mountaineering, trail running, climbing, and skiing. His extensive travels have led him to climb many peaks around the world—in Nepal, Bolivia, Peru, and Morocco, and he now lives in the heart of the Alps—with the awesome presence of Mont Blanc just outside his window! Alban and his family live a simple life, growing their own vegetables and fruit, and raising chickens, goats, and sheep. He looks forward to introducing guests to the fauna, flora, and traditions of the Alps and is always happy to share the joys of being in the mountains with others.
