My profile

With a bachelor's degree in tourism since 2014, as well as a Swiss Cycling guide and instructor for a few years now, I'm constantly trying to combine my passions with diverse and varied professions.

In addition to these two hats, I'm a naturalist and epicurean, with a passion for bikes of all kinds and board sports. With a Swiss Army knife in my pocket, making fires and grilling saveloys is a trademark of mine!

Why OPPAL?

On my way back from a year-long cycling trip, and looking for work, I came across Mélanie, who was manning an awareness-raising stand at the entrance to a sports store. I didn't know anything about OPPAL, but I was quickly recruited for an activity that fitted in perfectly with my current profile: feeder!

I'm kitted out, get behind the wheel of my little 4×4 and spend the last hour of the walk on foot, backpack full of food. I feed the volunteers who are working to ensure that sheep, humans and large carnivores live together in harmony. I'm in the mountains, I'm talking to people, the team is good. All for a good cause; I like it!

My assets for OPPAL

OPPAL's strength lies in its ability to harness the passion of some to relieve the hard work of others. Indeed, OPPAL offers unforgettable experiences to nature-lovers, enabling distressed shepherds to rest in the knowledge that their flock is safe. And that, I find, is a short scheme that works wonders.
