Ariane CRUELLS

After studying English and Chinese, Ariane lived in China for 12 years where she guided stays in Yunnan and Tibet. Since 2013, she has accompanied hikes in the Southern Alps and Corsica, which she animates with her passion for the culinary and medicinal uses of plants and for the history of our ancestors revealed by the landscapes.

Charles SPETH

After working in export, Charles changed course in 2002 to settle in the Alpes de Haute-Provence. By hiking, he was able to get to know every corner of this previously unknown territory. He invites you to discover the mid-range mountains around Digne-les-Bains, and the many works of Art in the mountains, through itinerant and star-based stays.

Lucie RANCILLAC

Before taking to the trails, Lucie was a school teacher for 12 years. From this past she has kept a taste for passing on knowledge and a concern for the personal development of each individual. She will accompany you as you discover the natural, heritage and cultural riches of Haute-Provence.

Marine HERBOMEZ

Always attracted by the wild mountains, Marine decided to settle in Barles 10 years ago, to create an equestrian farm. She gradually gave up everything to do what she loved most, to live close to her animals and nature, at the end of a track, at the end of the world. From this farm in Barles, she offers various rides or horseback or carriage rides between the different works of art in the mountains.

Matthieu CARON

After university training in ecology, Matthieu quickly became a mountain guide, sharing his passion for flora and nature in general with schoolchildren, families and adults. Less athletic than contemplative, his approach to the mountains is akin to that of artist-walkers, inviting us to take a sensory approach to the environment.

Pascal MAZZANI

Passionate about the UNESCO Geopark of Haute Provence’s mountain artworks, Pascal has devoted his professional life to teaching disciplines related to health and well-being. With him, you’ll encounter the works of art in a sensitive way, where breath and the senses will be the focus of ever finer attention.

Simon DE BERGH

Having grown up far from the mountains, he chose the intense light of the south and the heady scents of the Mediterranean mountains. His approach? Not to try to get to the top too quickly, but to take the time along the way to discover the “other sides” of our mountains. A geographer by training, he likes to weave links between the history of the Earth and that of human beings.
