Journée hors piste ou ski de randonnée en Maurienne

Clément Bléteau

Guide de Haute Montagne

Né à Grenoble, dans une famille de grimpeurs, ce n'est pas une surprise qu'à 5 ans j'étais déjà attaché à une corde. Passer toutes mes vacances dans le chalet de ma grand-mère en Haute-Maurienne, c'est là que j'ai découvert les joies du ski. Grâce à mon père, j'ai commencé à voyager, gravir un sommet de 6000 m au Népal, puis ce fut l'Elbrouz à ski.

Depuis, je vis avec l'envie de bouger et de découvrir de nouveaux horizons. Je suis devenu accompagnateur en montagne en 2010 et j'ai continué à me former pour finalement obtenir le diplôme de guide de haute montagne IFMGA. Ici en Maurienne, ou bien à l'étranger, je vous guide, avec des skis, des chaussons d'escalade, des crampons, etc.

Guide de Haute Montagne

Les voyages, l'escalade, le ski et l'alpinisme, ont été mes prétextes pour voir d'autres horizons.
Je suis depuis 10 ans en Haute Maurienne, où je peux pratiquer toutes ces activités, dans un environnement préservé et légendaire.
Engagé chez les pompiers locaux, j'ai intégré le secours en montagne pendant 2 ans. Diplômée de l'académie des guides de montagne depuis l'automne dernier 2019, je ferai de mon mieux pour partager avec vous ma passion.

Guide de Haute Montagne et Moniteur de ski

Pure product of the Maurienne Valley, I stepped in my first pair of skis at age 3, and almost never took them off.

At a young age I started with alpine skiing competitions with La Norma, and became a certified ski instructor in 2011.
Later on, my passion for alpinism started to grow when my father introduced me to rock climbing.The first multi-pitch climbs and the discovery of my first frozen waterfalls locked me to that environnement and to the feeling of freedom. My will to climb and to ski only for bigger and bigger…
At 20 years old I've got seriously contaminated by the travelling virus, with a first steep skiing expedition in Alaska. I am always on the move, from North America to Peru, with maybe a stop “chez Mumu” in Bonneval-Sur-Arc before continuing toward the fjords of Northern Norway for a bit of ski touring.

As a guide, I love to share the simplicity, the enjoyment and the feeling of mindfulness given by the life up on the mountains. I am good at giving you some of my great energy, on skis or just with my sense of humor that you will learn to appreciate…

I am getting quickly sick when packed in a cable car or at the bottom of a crowded chairlift like sheep in the herd, so it’s far from the crowds that I will guide you…if you can keep up with me!

Guide de Haute Montagne

​I remember how everything started back in the days when I was, like all the kids from my village in Maurienne, training with the local ski club. All the focus was on racing. But unlike all the others, my cousins and me were definitely more attracted by powder and playing in the forest, to the point that the trainers of the club had to create an off-piste group !

As years went by, my passion for mountains grew bigger, and I was finally selected to be in a team of young french climbers that were going to be trained to become top alpinists. After a wonderful time with those guys, I went into the guide education and got the diploma in 2006. During that prior I got also certified as a ski patroller, and that’s how I begun my career : guiding in the summer, and patrolling the pistes of La Norma and Orelle Val Thorens for about ten years. The best was of course the avalanche bombing !

Then I decided to work as a guide full time, and my two first winters were spent in Val d’Isère. Now I’m enjoying snow both in my home valley, the Maurienne, and in the wonderful mountains of northern Norway as much as possible.

See you there!
