Andapura treks & trails

Our core values

Inspiring exploration

The mountains as a source of inspiration for each and every one of us to achieve a more conscious life.

Encouraging discovery

Our books combine trail exploration with the discovery of cultural and historical heritage, living ecosystems and itinerancy.

Inspired by the land

Our aim is to share our experience and knowledge of the mountains, the terrain, our treks and our taste for the "black paths". All our books are inspired by the routes we have travelled and experienced.

Acting for the common good

We believe in the positive impact of each individual to change the world for everyone. Our aim is to promote responsible, committed mountaineering and hiking.

Making sense of walking

The great outdoors, walking and nomadism offer unique approaches to aligning being and doing, to mobilising, engaging, empowering and inspiring change.

About

After a career as a journalist and then a creative director, the mountains of my childhood became a way of life, responding to the urgent need to get back to basics.   
As a mountaineer, walker, trailer and climber, I thrive in the heart of the wilderness and wide open spaces. Ultratrail races, major crossings of the Alps and the Himalayas, and sport in general have transformed the way I work with people. Adaptable and creative, I like to give meaning to action and approach the mountains as a powerful terrain for exploring the living. 
As a mountain guide, the confines of the Covid period led me to imagine a different way of accompanying hikers on the trails. Andapura Editions and the Trekking Books series were born of this new-found time and the opportunity to bring this project to fruition. The desire to make it possible to read and imagine journeys over the passes, far from the hustle and bustle, that invite you to share a bubble outside time and connect with nature.

From my base camp in Haute-Savoie, at the foot of Mont Blanc, I've been leading nature and adventure projects for over 20 years, combining a rich network of expertise. The mountains as a source of inspiration for meeting the challenges of an ever-changing world 

Through the Andapura exploration agency, I accompany individuals and organisations on their journey towards transformation. As a professional coach and mountain guide, I design learning adventures to help people give more meaning to their actions and develop their leadership skills. As a mental coach and mindfulness guide, I also help sportspeople improve their performance.

Andapura Éditions is looking for new talent to add to its catalogue.

Authors

« Vénérer ce qui se tient devant nous. Ne rien attendre. Se souvenir beaucoup. Se garder des espérances, fumées au-dessus des ruines. Jouir de ce qui s’offre. Chercher les symboles et croire la poésie plus solide que la foi. Se contenter du monde. Lutter pour qu’il demeure. » - Sylvain Tesson -
