Europe Trip Leader
Anna Woodward
Languages Spoken: English & French
Guide Since: 2012
Anna Woodward has always loved the mountain environment. Her childhood holidays were spent hiking in the Alps, and learning to ski and mountain bike later in life cemented her love of being in the wilderness, surrounded by nature and the peaceful beauty of the mountains. After traveling the world for a year post-university, she began a career as a specialist travel agent, building tailor-made itineraries to meet clients' desires for their “trip of a lifetime.” Her journey to become a mountain leader began in 2012 as she planned and guided hikes for groups in the Austrian Lake District, sharing her knowledge of the history and flora and fauna of the region—one of her favorite parts of this role. Since then, Anna has been based in the Tarentaise Valley of France, and for a time owned a mountain bike company. In her free time, she loves to hike, run, bike, and ski as she explores the nearby valleys and mountain peaks.
