Jacopo Buffachi: Italian Mountain Guide and Head of Design at Rab and Lowe Alpine
from The Mountain People Podcast · host Rab Equipment
Jacopo was born in Courmayeur beneath the giant Italian face of Mt Blanc. He was skiing well before he started school and dreamed of becoming a mountain guide. Jacopo shares the thrill of climbing his first 4000 metre peak with his father, about his work as a guide and his passion for supporting mountain guides in the countries of South America. He talks about the inherent risks and how he transitioned to work as a designer. Most of all I wanted to ask, why are Italians always so well dressed and what does he really think of British food?
