FROM ATHLETE TO COACH
After a professional career in rowing, Caroline thought she would take some time off and have some rest but she was underestimating her active nature. When she climbed on the podium after a 68-kilometre race to which she had been enrolled by a friend despite having never ran more than 12 kilometres, she decided to give the discipline a try.
She specialised in trail running and then passed a diploma to become a mountain guide before opening her mountaineering, trail-running and cross-country skiing agency based in the French Alps.

“I really like trail running because of the incredible feeling of freedom you get.”

LIVING HER PASSION
With years of experience, and eager to share her passion, Caroline now takes groups of people in the mountains for trail running courses.
"I understand how generous and also dangerous nature can be. It’s important to always keep that in mind when leading a group," she explains.
Caroline is always looking for new challenges and new itineraries to share with other mountain enthusiasts. Constantly working on new projects, she lives her passion to the fullest.
