Paolo Intropido

IFMGA Italian Mountain Guide

Born in NW Italy in a region surrounded by mountains, Paolo started to ski and trek as a kid, always wanting to explore 'beyond the next hill'.

He has travelled to ski and climb in Scotland, USA, Canada, Nepal, Chile, Morocco and Mali, but his preferred mountains are in his backyard - the Alps. From Mont Blanc to the Dolomites, a lifetime is not enough to know the whole range. As a Mountain Guide, Paolo is well known for his patient and easy-going attitude. He likes every mountain activity, following the seasons through the year - rock climbing in autumn and spring, ice-climbing and skiing in winter, alpinism in summer - and likes to share this passion. Paolo is proud to be part of the very experienced ISM team and enjoys the international atmosphere of ISM.

Testimonials For ISM

This was a fantastic trip. Paolo was excellent. The accommodation great. All helped along by wall to wall sunshine, stunning arctic scenery and some superb snow, so no problems as far as I'm concerned.

Please pass on my very, very sincere thanks to Thomas, Daniel & Christian. They are truly quality people! Patient, understanding, professional, and wonderful ambassadors for your company. I have experienced many guides over my 50 years in climbing and they rank right up there with the very best.

Good mixture of progressive instruction and learning, climbing and guiding. We climbed some very good mountains from good huts and made the best of the mixed weather conditions. The course also used a range of situations and locations to cover a wide range of skills and techniques.
