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

Our three guides were all excellent: Thomas, Phil and Paulo. I can't speak highly enough of them. They were all good company and superb climbers, and patient with us all.

Matterhorn Ascent

Learned loads and acclimatised well during the course. Its obviously been very carefully planned. Guiding and Instruction was excellent. Anders was fantastic throughout and made the whole course really good fun. A very professional instructor with a great sense of humour. Highly recommended.

Leigh Ritchie
Summits & Skills 4000m (Instructional Course)

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.
