Elsa COLETTA

Born to a father who is a mountain guide and a mother who is a sports teacher, I lived my entire childhood between the beautiful Chamonix valley (in winter and summer) and the cliffs of the Lubéron the rest of the year, between the high peaks of Haute-Savoie and the nice rock of Provence.

From a very young age, I started climbing on the cliffs and on the small boulder built in my parents' garage. When I arrived at school in the sport-study section, I started climbing competitively and continued for twelve years until I arrived at the STAPS (University of Sport) on the banks of the Bourget lake in Savoie. After completing a degree in Management and Development of Sports and Leisure Organisations and Services specialising in mountain sports, I took a year to step back and think about what I wanted to do in the future... The following year, I made up my mind and started to work on the list of mandatory routes to enter the training course to become a climbing instructor.

I have been lucky enough to travel a lot around the world and to go climbing, skiing and surfing in incredible spots. Climbing is for me a passion that refers to sharing, trust and beautiful places. It's all this that I now want to share and make you discover, by taking you to varied and aesthetic vertical routes. From the discovery of the activity in the mythical valley of Chamonix, to a  course on the beautiful island of Kalymnos in Greece or in the incredible Calanques of Marseille and Cassis, you will surely find something interesting!

Recently, I have joined forces with a long-time friend (who is a yoga teacher) to also offer climbing and yoga courses in carefully chosen and suitable locations.
