Your Guide

Meet Lorenzo Gariano
Lorenzo was brought up in Liguria until the age of 18.

He has spent the last 30 years in the UK in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire where he has attended to his successful Interior Landscape business. Now back in his beloved Liguria, he leads outdoor activities in the area. His knowledge of Liguria is unsurpassed, having hit these trails since childhood. Lorenzo's passion for the outdoors has led him to exotic and remote locations of the world in pursuit of his passion for climbing high peaks. He has summited mountains such as Denali in Alaska, Lhotse in the Himalayas and the much closer Matterhorn, and during April and May 2006 he summitted Everest from Tibet. Most recently, as part of his Seven Summits challenge, Lorenzo summited Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia.

He holds a valid British certificate in Mountain first aid and rescue.

With his perfect knowledge of both the English and Italian languages, and understanding of the local cultures and traditions you are assured of a very professional, caring and attentive guide.

Lorenzo is helping to organise the first Ultra Distance Running Trail in Italy together with a local international athlete. Many international athletes are coming for the event on July 21 2007; there will be a pasta party and local fete in the village of Dolcedo.

Looking forward to meeting you in sunny Liguria.
