Andrea Enzio

I was born in Varallo in 1968; Ski instructor since 1990 and Mountain Guide since 1991. I started my working career in the mountain at an early stage, following in the footsteps of my father and my family who are mainly made up of mountain guides and ski instructors.

Having always had a passion for sport, I participated as an athlete in the Alagna alpine Ski Club for many years. After that I started rock climbing and then moved on to alpinism. I soon became a ski instructor and mountain guide and started these two jobs in summer and winter alternating them with maintenance work and managing the high altitude Huts, Margherita and Gnifetti on Monte Rosa.

Attracted mainly to winter sports, I started snowboarding and also completed an instructor’s course. After obtaining a qualification in canyoning guide, and participating in some Himalayas high mountain expeditions, I have been dedicating my attention and passion to skiing, from free ride and extreme snowboarding. On my side, you can count on some of the most important extreme line in the Monte Rosa group.

A lifetime dedicated to sport: other than alpinism and skiing, I am also a sailing fan, I did parachuting; I fly paraglide; white water kayak; scubadiving.

I live in Alagna and I’m the president of the historic Guide Association in Alagna founded in 1872, and technical director of the homonym guide School.

I work as Mountain Guide, Ski Instructor, Air Rescuer at helicopter base in Borgosesia and Alessandria. Married since 2013 with Barbara and now two kids: Caterina(9) and Giacomo(7).
