Paulo Grobel is a French high mountain guide who spends much of the year climbing and exploring the Himalaya, mainly in Nepal. He is passionate about the high mountains, the people and their long history that has evolved and continues to evolve over the centuries... as well as the complex blend of religions that are somehow entrenched in today's uncertain way of life. For the rest of the year he is based in the tiny village of Les Hieres in La Grave, France, where he is equally passionate about alpinism and skiing. Dans les grands déserts, les hautes montagnes, il existe un négoce étrange, on peut troquer le tourbillon de la vie contre l'infini paix de l'âme Guide de haute montagne, je vous invite à vous perdre dans les replis de mes itinérances himalayennes ou singulières. Et partager, un jour, le bonheur d'un sommet et le plaisir d'avoir cheminé ensemble...
