Alongside his guiding activities, he works as a technical advisor for outdoor equipment brands, a columnist for the specialized press, and a lecturer, sharing his experience and vision of the mountains with companies and the general public. Committed to preserving the mountain environment, in 2020 he co-founded the ACTS FOR OUR SUMMITS association, dedicated to the ecological transition in the mountains. He has also led projects organizing trips for young people in difficulty and participated in communication and social responsibility initiatives for companies in the outdoor sector.
