Ian is a UK Mountain Leader and an International Mountain Leader (IML) Aspirant, and is a member of both BAIML (British Association of International Mountain Leaders) and ASAM (Association Suisse des Accompagnateurs en moyenne Montagne).
He leads groups and individuals in the mountains in Switzerland and further afield. In summer conditions this includes trekking and walking while in winter he leads groups snow shoeing. As a Nordic Walking Instructor he can give an added dimension to moving in the mountains and introduce clients to a simple fun exercise they can make part of their daily routine at home.
His expedition and group work takes him to Morocco, Corsica for the famed GR20 trek and the Himalayas for trekking at very high altitude.
Ian runs the popular blog SnowSlider.net chronicling his travels in the alps and sharing his photographs with readers. You’ll find pages here describing trips we’ve made and some record of the flowers we’re seeing over the course of a year as the seasons change. Links on the top of the page and at the sides will let you look at flowers grouped by colour or the month we’re seeing them in.
