Francesco Valgoi

Mountain Guide - Alpine Rescue Technician

Born and raised in Alta Valtellina, where snow, ski mountaineering and classic mountaineering are at home, I soon abandoned my profession as a carpenter to answer the call of the vertical world, becoming an Alpine Guide, Helicopter Rescue Technician and National Alpine Rescue Instructor.

For many years, my professional activity has involved guiding, training, safety and operations in mountain environments, collaborating with aviation professionals, brands in the safety and outdoor sectors, and organizations that operate in contexts where preparation, competence, and reliability are fundamental.

I live in Valtellina, an extraordinary territory that I know and frequent daily. The great mountains surrounding this area represent not only my work environment but also a continuous source of experience and professional growth. In particular, the Ortles-Cevedale, Bernina, and Masino groups are the alpine settingsthat have accompanied much of my journey. Following the seasons and the activities they offer, I enjoy moving to new places around Italy and Europe.

The mountains teach respect, responsibility, and adaptability.These are values that I try to convey every day in my work, offering my skills, experience, and passion to help people approach the alpine environment with greater awareness and safety.
