“Follow your heart so you won’t have any regrets”

Ludovic Fenet

Hiking the trails on a mountain bike

Behind the guide lies a rich and inspiring life story. Ludovic was born in Lyon, a city that remains close to his heart despite spending his childhood travelling the world. Through his travels, particularly in Africa, he has nurtured his love of adventure. Sport has always been part of his daily life: running, trail running, mountain biking… physical exertion has become his means of self-expression. He has enjoyed exploring the peaks of France, and the Salève in particular, for the past 27 years. For several years, Ludovic worked in energy optimisation for air-conditioning systems. It was a comfortable career, but one that did not fulfil his need for nature and freedom.

After some soul-searching, he turned his passion for cycling into a true life’s work by obtaining the necessary qualifications. Seven years ago, an opportunity presented itself: to take over the mountain biking section of the Bureau de la Montagne du Salève. Since then, he has been sharing his expertise with the teams and guiding clients out in the field. Today, Ludovic works outdoors, in line with his values. Always seeking to develop further, he is continuing his career by studying for his mid-mountain guide qualification.

Nature as a way out

On a day-to-day basis, Ludovic meticulously plans each of his outings, tailoring them to participants’ preferences and abilities. He designs his own mountain bike routes, from the Salève to the major French mountain ranges, which he takes great pleasure in introducing to riders. Take, for example, this bespoke route from the Clarée Valley to the Calanque de Port-Miou, designed to take clients home by bike!

During a ride, he does more than just guide: he puts people at ease, builds connections, offers advice and shares his knowledge – both technical and geological. For him, being guided is, above all, about letting go, going with the flow and enjoying the experience to the full, in complete peace of mind.
