NICOLAS HALE-WOODS
Founder and CEO of the Freeride World Tour
“Our partnership with WEMountain is a central pillar of the Freeride World Tour’s number one priority: safety. Quite simply, there can be no development without a solid, global safety education program. We’re truly impressed by what WEMountain has created in such a short time.”
YANN DELEVAUX
Mountain guide
“Having grown up in the Chamonix valley, you might think that becoming a high mountain guide was an obvious path for me. But not at all! Nobody around me was into skiing or mountaineering, and I was fortunate to meet people who helped me discover a real passion. A passion that now drives WEMountain and inspires everyone from beginners to experts. It’s a passion with risks too, because the mountains are not an athletic track!”
“WEMountain is years of experience, practice, sometimes mistakes, but above all extraordinary moments of sharing that help us raise our knowledge. To fully enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains with awareness and understanding. Because the mountains have given me so much—and taken too much—I support and collaborate with WEMountain in their mission!”
Marc-antoine schaer
Founder and CEO of Alpride SA
“The mountains are as beautiful as they are dangerous. To make them much less dangerous—and therefore even more beautiful—there’s only one way: you have to tame them, learn to understand them, and adapt to their ever-changing moods. That’s exactly what WEMountain has done by partnering with numerous international experts. Today, with passion and professionalism, WEMountain offers to share this exceptional expertise through a unique digital and in-person program. An opportunity not to be missed!”
