NICOLAS
DRAPERI
Raised on chestnut burrs and Pélardon goat’s cheese in the depths of the Cévennes in Lozère, I’ve had a taste for wild wanderings of all kinds since I was little. After a few years drifting through universities in southern France, sometimes studying, sometimes roaming, I finally landed at the foot of the Écrins in 2009, where I still live today. Things moved quickly, and in 2011 I was proudly sporting my mountain guide’s badge.
I’ve always worked independently, with a personal, hands-on approach. For you, that means trips tailored to your wishes, direct contact with your guide, flexible planning, someone who listens… and sometimes a few last-minute adjustments to work with whatever the mountains have in store!
The site offers a small selection of ideas to spark your imagination and help you picture your own adventure. Think of it as a source of inspiration rather than a catalogue: every adventure is something we shape together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Safety is my absolute priority. If weather, snowpack, or mountain conditions do not allow the planned trip to be carried out safely, I may change the objective or cancel the trip.
The original objective may be adapted or replaced depending on the conditions, the group’s level, or how the project evolves. If this change affects the guiding requirements or the initial scope of the trip, the price may be adjusted. Each situation is considered on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with you.
As a mountain guide, I am solely responsible for safety-related decisions: whether the trip proceeds, the route changes, is postponed, or cancelled is at my judgment based on conditions at the time.
