Shams EYBERT-BERARD

Born in the city of Grenoble area in 1988, in a large family, I grew up in the french Alps between the departments of Isère and Savoie. Since I was very young I practiced mountain hiking with my father, and, at the age of 5, I climbed -with difficulty- the Obiou summit and the Grande Casse pass in the french Alps. Nevertheless, this beginning passion has been put aside by long seasons of snowboard competitions.

But I finally return to the mountains. First with ski touring, then with mountaineering and rock climbing. Now I practice all sports that allow me to evolve roped up in the mountain (rock climbing, ice climbing, ski touring, mountaineering). Recently I get started paragliding, but I skipped over this activity, in orderto be focused on my high mountain guide degree.

Next to my high mountain activity, I am also an osteopath (Osteopath D.O). I completed my training in the CEESO School in Lyon.  I have opened my office near Grenoble after the completion of my guide training, and now I practice those two professions.

My second passion is traveling, and, since the age of 18, I travel extensively in Asia, most of the time by bicycle. Such that way, I discovered Ladakh (India) twice, Mongolia (also twice), Kyrgyzstan and  Siberia. I have also travelled in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thaïland, China, Indonesia and in several countries in Africa and America. In 2013 I organized a bike & ski touring expedition to climb on Mongolian 4000m summits. This expedition was awarded by the city of Fontaine (Expedition price) in 2015:

Certified as a mountain guide since August 2018, I share with desire and passion conquer of the alpine peaks, before guiding you in the discovery of the world.
