I have been a mountain guide since 2009 and have completed numerous ascents, both in winter and summer, especially in the Făgăraș Mountains.
Bâlea Lake holds a special place in my heart, as it is where I discovered mountain sports and shaped my identity as a mountaineer. A large part of my professional activity takes place in the Bâlea Lake area, with my base camp at Paltinu Chalet.
I’ve been practicing mountaineering since 1993 and ski touring, as well as ski mountaineering, since 1997. Throughout my career, I have taken part in numerous expeditions in the Alps, Caucasus, Andes, Pamir, and Himalayas between 2002 and the present.
To enjoy the mountains safely, one needs a great deal of education and experience.
My greatest joy is seeing people discover and explore the mountains with passion and responsibility. I share the same values and knowledge with my tour or rope partners—insights gained over more than 30 years of experience that guide me in every ascent.
