A passionate alpinist, seasoned paraglider, committed member of the PGHM de Chamonix and proud father, Fred Souchon is above all one of us. A member of the Cimalp team since the very beginning, he perfectly embodies our values: humility, commitment, a spirit of adventure and a deep love of the mountains.

Key Achievement

  • Several major routes across different Alpine and foreign massifs.
  • Mountaineering and paragliding combos.
  • Numerous bivvy flights in the Alps and abroad.

Future projects

  • The list is long! But the best ones will definitely happen in the mountains with a paraglider on my back and great friends by my side!

Interview with Fred Souchon

3 words that define you as an athlete?

Passionate, resilient and forever in awe!

3 values that define you as a person?

Creative - Curious - Dynamic.

Why do you feel you belong to the Cimalp family?

Because Cimalp represents to me, one hundred percent, the values of Family with a capital F. Within this close-knit family, I also have the privilege of contributing to the development of mountaineering products at Cimalp — and that's truly special!

Your best and worst memory in the mountains — and why?

I could mention a spectacular mountain run shared with a friend, or an incredible flight above the summits — but to be honest, my best and worst mountain memories come from my daily life as a high-altitude rescue worker. Thankfully, the best ones always win out and keep us moving forward!

What do the mountains inspire in you?

The mountains draw me in with their vastness and the power they radiate...

What is your relationship with the environment and ecology?

Living at the foot of the (last?) glaciers, I am even more attuned to environmental issues. I try, through small everyday actions, to reduce my impact on them.

Another great passion / talent beyond sport?

Music, and more specifically the guitar.
