Giulia Marangoni
Born in 1990 and a guide since 2015, I have a background in Conservation Biology. Studying alpine nature has only deepened my passion for the mountains and my desire to understand them more thoroughly.
I firmly believe that fostering knowledge of the mountain environment—its nature, history, and culture—is a fundamental step toward preserving what is, in every sense, our shared heritage. Whether during a single hike, a day with school groups, or a multi-day trek with people from across the globe, I dedicate all my passion and effort to ensuring the experience leaves a lasting impression.
My greatest satisfaction is knowing that the people I guide come to see the mountains as a place to return to, with awareness and respect. After all, as John Muir wrote, "Going to the mountains is going home."
