Originally from Auvergne, François Laupin trained as a nature guide in the territory of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park.
Passionate about outdoor sports since a young age, from kayaking to gliding, climbing, ice climbing, ski touring or trail running. François has a solid experience in trekking as he spent several years guiding stays in the Sultanate of Oman and Spitsbergen.
After leading a reception structure for environmental education, he settled down in southern Ardèche where he is now a mountain guide, instructor at the Aubenas climbing club, trail trainer, and trainer at CREPS AURA.
Much more than a place of work, the Ardèche represents for me a playground and an infinitely rich and precious natural environment.
