What does a Medium Mountain Guide do?
A professional person that helps you get to know the mountain.
The Medium Mountain Guide (AMM) is a trained and certified professional figure who has a deep knowledge of the mountain environment. They become an important point of reference for those who aspire to become an independent hiker and want to proceed step by step.
This type of guide is responsible for safety and takes action to organize the excursion in its entirety.
They transmit the pleasure of adventure and teach you the basics to tackle each route in the best possible way, including the equipment. They reveal the secrets of that territory. They are not an Alpine Guide.
Francesca Zambelli
My idea of mountain ethic
My name is Francesca Zambelli and I was born in the Belluno Dolomites. I have always loved these places that I have learned to know and live in their full beauty.
I am a Medium Mountain Guide and AlteMete is a project that combines my professional skills and my personal characteristics to educate people about the mountains and develop a new ethic around them.
I don’t believe in a glossy magazine mountain, but I much prefer one made of simple gestures, silence and a great desire to train muscles and breath.
My excursions become immersive lessons, carried out directly in the most suggestive places of the Dolomites. I accompany individuals or groups with the aim of making them discover the wonder of a never-before-seen panorama. Every little detail becomes an opportunity to tell a story that mixes traditions, geology and botany.
International Mountain Leader
With the qualification of International Mountain Leader I can organize exploratory and trekking experiences in any part of the world. In fact, my skills allow me to create a network between professional figures specialized in the tourism sector and accommodation facilities.
How to recognize a good mountain guide?
A good mountain guide is focused on your needs and not on himself:
- They follow you step by step, with an ever-watchful eye.
- They have a lot of patience, whatever your experience level.
- They take care of every aspect of the excursion.
- They observe and perceive your way of being, your abilities and adapt to them.
- They convey security and never put you in danger.
- They always ask you how things are going and they establish a relationship of trust with you.
- They help you get out of your comfort zone to push your limits and progress.
This is what you should expect from a Medium Mountain Guide.
AlteMete, a journey inside and outside of you
With the AlteMete project you can enjoy the pleasure of reaching the mountain summit and your physical and mental well-being. I am a Medium Mountain Guide, I am trained to make you have fun while taking care of your safety and I collaborate with other certified professionals.
With my specializations I help you live experiences at high altitude that require healthy fatigue, which also moves your spirit. As the name AlteMete says, the destinations I aspire to are high, they are made of rock and sky, but also of satisfaction and introspective journeys that only the mountain allows you to do.
Freedom requires precise rules
I start from the assumption that the mountain is not for everyone, but everyone can try to approach it gradually.
Walking is one of the most natural gestures you do every day: doing it in the mountains and in wild environments requires technique, knowledge of the territory and good physical condition.
I teach you to develop a sure step, measure your strength and equip yourself in the right way to follow paths. You will climb with greater awareness and satisfaction, according to the rules of the mountain.
Do you want to experience the mountain with me?
Write to me to organize excursions of one or more days for you and your family, or for your company. I will help you find the path and the destination that best suits what you needs.
