Tê'ta head with Gédéon Pochat, ski mountaineering / trail


Can you introduce yourself ?

Like a large part of the young, I started sport with football (but I prefer that it remains secret 😂 ). In parallel with football, each year, I participated with my grandfather in a race next to my home, the climb of La Tournette. Growing up, family getaways quickly turn into long hikes. So I join the young group of CAF Annecy.

Sky mountaineering and trail become my daily life in order to overtime in the mountains all year round. After obtaining my baccalaureate, I move towards a study in sport study and produced a DUT phyic measures and then a license in trade.

Currently, I focus on my accompanist in medium mountain, in parallel with sport.
