Elia Peraga

Who I am

I'm Elia — an Italian guide living and working in the UK. I've been taking people into the hills, onto climbing walls, and through DofE expeditions for years. What drives me is simple: I believe everyone should be able to experience the outdoors, regardless of their ability, fitness, or background.

I grew up in Italy and have spent much of my adult life exploring mountains across Europe. My wife and I regularly climb at altitude — and that experience feeds directly back into how I guide others.

What I believe

Adventures aren't just for the fit, the young, or the experienced. I adapt every single trip around the people on it. If you need a slower pace, a shorter distance, additional support, or just someone who won't make you feel like you're holding everyone up — that's exactly what I'm here for.
