Dear Adventure Traveler,
Welcome to Alpine Interface and to our completely re-designed site!!!
With nearly a year in the planning and executing stages, we are pleased to present an interactive tool for you to use finding information about our journeys around the world. 2007 has truly been a busy year with many exciting events.
Our business is entering its 8th year with many of the ups and downs associated with adventure travel since September 11, 2001. We have weathered the storm and are here to say thanks to our wonderful team of dedicated professionals and to all of you who have supported our work by returning year after year. We are pleased to say that some of our guests are returning for their fourth trip with us!
Alpine Interface Inc. has also changed countries. We have now moved to the Canadian Rockies, just south of Banff National Park, where our office will be permanently based. We are keeping an office in Chamonix, France, but operating in North America is much easier, giving us access to more trade shows, seminars and also allowing us to be just a phone call away to answer any of your questions. You can always reach us toll-free at 1-800-368-5056.
Staff
We are fortunate to have no turnover in our staff since the beginning and are bringing on several new International Mountain Leaders for the 2008 season.With fully certified, multi-lingual guides with the highest standards of first aid and leadership skills, you are in the best hands possible. Bringing on board Lindsay Cannon, a Scottish IML, who works free-lance for the BBC in television and radio has been fantastic. Lindsay has many years of experience hiking, climbing and working in different ranges. Her sense of humor and whit will be a bonus on any trip she will be leading for us.
New trips
2008 and 2009 will see several new trips, which we are really looking forward to leading.For 2008, we will be guiding a hiking and walking trip to Slovenia, to the heart of the Julian Alps.
Please also look for our new hiking weeks in the Rockies and winter ski touring out of Golden, B.C. Canada in 2009.
On a more personal level, we have our hands full with two little ones (Enzo Luca Marino, a summer solstice baby in 2008), and trying to keep up our good work and prompt attention to detail all of our clients have come to appreciate.
However, we have now moved into our new home in Canmore, Alberta, and hopefully everything will happen on a more peaceful level. (well, that's the theory)
As I plan to crossover to the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides in June, I will be fully certified to operate hiking trips in Canada. Look for many new adventures to come in this stunning country.
Most sincerely,
Louis Marino Owner and IML
