The small course of the coast (Giens)

After a first professional life as an educator with young people in difficulty, which he lived as a passion, Fernando Sandoval, from Toulon, has chosen to take the path of the great outdoors, to make it his new profession.

In fact, I started as a teenager with caving, climbing and then the mountains.

A seasoned mountaineer and member of the French Alpine Club, he has climbed extensively in the Mont Blanc massif, the Oisans, and Nepal; he has hiked all over the Alps, the Mercantour, and as far as Peru... With vivid memories such as "the meeting of young people I was supervising with high mountain guides and gendarmes".

I now work with the Tourist Offices of Hyères and Toulon with whom we develop the discovery of the interior.

In 2002, he passed the Brevet d'Etat d'accompagnateur moyenne montagne and set up his own business. He guides in the Alps, the Valley of Wonders, then in the Esterel, the Maures, the Calanques..

This mountain lover also likes the history of the islands and the peninsula "very rich, but sometimes dark...". He never tires of the beauty of the landscapes of the National Park, because for him "beyond the tourist traffic, the Mediterranean remains a wild space".

A project?

Yes, to create a walk around the 3 capes: Lardier, Taillat, Camarat.

Passionate about photography, he exhibits from June to August, landscapes of Porquerolles at the Tourist Office of Hyères.
