I grew up in the Savoie region in the northern Alps and participated in athletics and notably cross country, as well as all outdoor activities such as cycling, skiing, canyoning and mountaineering.

Then I needed to escape competitions that were too “structured” and training sessions that didn’t really suit my desire for freedom and mountain activities.
