Gwen Bevan

Gwen is originally from Scotland but has lived in southwest England for nearly 30 years (although her passion for the Scottish mountains ensures regular visits back to her homeland!). She has worked as an outdoor instructor for the last 25 years and has traveled extensively, trekking in Patagonia, the Andes Mountains, Morocco, Tanzania, and the French/Swiss Alps. She spends winters in the Tarantaise Valley in France where backcountry skiing and ski touring are her main passions; recently, she also explored the Lyngen Alps in Arctic Norway. As an accomplished triathlete at Ironman and Half Ironman distance, Gwen previously represented Great Britain and was British champion in 2018. She is also a keen cyclist and has led cycling tours and training camps in Mallorca and mainland Spain.
