Passionate about nature and sport from an early age, Florian naturally gravitated towards trail running in 2011, at the end of his career as a national-level volleyball player. A discipline that reconnected him with all the values he holds dear: pushing limits, respect for the environment, sharing, camaraderie and the discovery of wide open spaces.
Based for nearly 20 years in the Pilat massif south of Lyon, Florian is a state-qualified Mountain Guide and Team Manager at Cimalp. Sharing knowledge is in his DNA — whether through exploring the natural environment and the mountains, or through sporting fulfilment.
High-performance and enduring, Florian has taken on many legendary races in Cimalp kit: UTMB, TDS, UTCAM, Echappée Belle, Diagonale des Fous. A trail range tested in the harshest conditions — and still climbing summits with him.
