IFMGA / UIAGM

English

Anouk grew up on the glaciers and peaks of Switzerland where her family is from and currently resides. Anouk has had an appreciation for the elevated outdoors from an early age. She has lived in Europe, America’s east coast, and finally, she was drawn to the west coast in her teens and never left. Anouk has been guiding rock, alpine, and ski trips in California and Washington for over 9 years, and also teaches avalanche courses. She returns to Europe every spring and summer to guide ski touring, mountaineering and alpine trips in the Alps and in Norway. She sees her guide work as a way to increase and infuse passion and knowledge into the outdoor community – her way of giving back after having been fortunate enough to receive solid mentorship during her initial years going through the Mountain Guide program.
