NOUS MIEUX CONNAÎTRE

INSPIRÉ PAR UNE VIE D'AVENTURE

Vous pouvez aller n'importe où, voir n'importe quoi et devenir n'importe qui.

Prendre la route moins fréquentée vous permet de vous sentir en vie. Tous vos sens sont en alerte et vous êtes prêt à vivre de nouvelles expériences. Vous vivez dans le moment et vous vous adaptez constamment à votre nouvel environnement et à votre nouvelle situation. Ticino Adventures is a professional outdoor guide service built around these very principles. We live for adventure and love to share unforgettable experiences with thrill seekers from all over the world. You don’t need to be an extreme athlete to experience the best of Ticino. We’ll take you out of your comfort zone, show you the incredible beauty of Ticino and create memories that last forever! #startexploring

Zach

Zach grew up in Alaska and New Mexico, after his 6-month career as an engineer he started working as a canyon guide in Moab. Since then, he started to travel, work and buy motorbikes around the globe. He now owns a motorbike in almost every continent! When he isn’t working he is flying his paraglider, riding whatever has two wheels and in winter he is skiing all over the planet. He also guides freeride ski trips to Japan and is working on his Swiss tandem-paragliding license.

Guiding experience: Ticino and rest of Switzerland, USA, Japan, India, Malaysia.
Owner & Guide

Fabio

If you can get him to stop riding his mountain bike for a minute or two, Fabio will tell you (in just about any language you want) that he’s been living in Ticino for the last 12 years because it’s such an amazing place for outdoor sports. When he’s not biking or canyoning, you can find him somewhere in the mountains, climbing or skiing, or on a beach somewhere kitesurfing.
