Who is John?
In love with our magnificent Lake Geneva region,
I am keen to share this incredible playground.
Come have fun with me!
I will accompany you and motivate you to achieve adventures together
as exclusive as they are unforgettable.
John is a few adventures embellished with a zest of curiosity,
a pinch of philosophy, patience and listening,
all sprinkled with a good dose of passion...
Settled on the shores of Lake Geneva, between Lausanne and Geneva, John is a devoted outdoor sports enthusiast.
A seasoned sailor, he has crossed the Atlantic from west to east and has been exploring Lake Geneva for over 25 years on his sailboat, in a kayak, or balancing on his paddleboard.
The depths of the lake are also familiar to him, as he is an expert in scuba diving.
A passionate fisherman, the rivers of the Lake Geneva region hold no secrets for him. He will take you to cast your lines in magical spots, far from the city's hustle and bustle.
As a mountain guide, he offers a variety of hiking routes, whether on foot or snowshoes. He knows the best alpine inns and charming little bistros where you can rest your pack.
A fan of skiing and snowboarding, John has surfed some of the most beautiful slopes in the Alps, the Atlas Mountains, and even the Caucasus. He also enjoys climbing and is happy to connect you with high-mountain guides.
