We are an online guide company based in the Alps and specialized in mountain activities, formed by Laura Vinyet and Isra Samper.
We met in Chamonix at the foot of the mountains while having a beer. We wouldn’t take too long to realise we were both passioned about mountaineering. A couple of years after that, we created Terralpina. We live in Briançon; Southern Alps, France.
We want to share our knowledge with you . During our activities, we will tell you what we know about the natural environment (flora, fauna, geomorphology…), as well as cultural, traditional, historical and architectural elements. We want to bring in something else to boost your experience.
We provide technical advice before the activity. You have our phone number and e-mail address so feel free to talk to us. We are happy to respond to any questions you may have (activity, trip, accommodation, material, etc.)
Most of the activities we propose here are desgined to take place in Spain and the Alps (France, Italy and Switzerland). However, we can guide you in all kinds of destinations . Give us a call and we’ll customise our programme so it can suit a different location,
We try our best to improve and adapt our programmes every season so we can extend our field of action. We look forward to offer a variety of programs to suit all tastes.
We will guide you in the only way we know: with joy and a positive attitude, always keeping a smile on and with high motivation. Our goal is always is to help you enjoy the mountain. If you want to find out a little more about us, check the ‘team’ tab below.
It is important that we all feel comfortable each other; that’s why we always try to arrange small groups. That way we will ensure cohesion, a good atmosphere and understanding among us, making all participants feel comfortable during the days we spend together. For example, for excursions on foot or with snowshoes, we suggest a maximum of 8 or 10 people per group, depending on the difficulty of the terrain. With other agencies, you may find yourself in a group of up to 15 people.
We have designed a number of multi-activity programs with activities that complement each other, because we look at the mountain as a whole. If you have considered spending a week in the mountains with a group of friends, your family or your partner, but you all have different goals and level, we can design a programme that meets your needs. (SIGUE) For example: for a multi-day activity, we can split the group in two for a few days. The groups will make the ascent with different guides an then meet at night at the shelter (activity “Tour and ascent of Mount Viso”). We are pretty felixible about this so do not hesitate to contact us if you want to suggest a different one!
You will find in our website all sort of different proposals, all of which can be adapted to your needs. That is, we can add on, remove part of it or modify any activity. We also welcome any suggestions from you, so if you have an idea of what you want to do and you cannot find it in our website, let us know and we will look into it.
We like knowing a bit more about our customers. Unlike some other agencies, our goal is to establish a close and direct communication with you. We get involved in the programs before, during and after is done. We don’t see our activities as a product we’re trying to sell but rather as a chance to be part of a new, exciting project.
Requesting the service of a guide for a mountain outing means trusting a qualified professional. Organization, strategy and decision making are part of our work. When hiring the services of one of our mountain guides, you are taking advantage of our experience, which will help you learn, making progress and familiarize yourself with the environment. We will ensure that you have a safe and pleasing experience.
At high altitudes, weather conditions can sometimes be changing. If the need arises, an experienced guide will know how to adapt the activity so you can still enjoy the experience while keeping you safe. In addition to the weather conditions, we will also take into consideration your physical and technical abilities.
Terralpina guides are Spanish and Catalan native speakers. In addition to that, we also speak English, French and Italian.
