ELIA SACCHELLI
Cycling and MTB Guide | Trekking Guide | Founder
I’m passionate about outdoor since i was a child. After my 20s spent in motorcycling, my passion for sport reborn in 2013 while i was abroad, in Uk. Mountain biking it’s part of it, as i started to do training for endurance adventures in three different sports, also doing challenges for charity. I just love to stay outdoor as much time possible, being into nature and discovering new places, my limits. Living passions and emotions and possibly share it. At some point i decided to fully focus on my passions and i had the opportunity to work in one of the best bike shop i ever seen: Rides on Air in Wallingford. That gave me the opportunity to learn lots of things and push my passion for MTB further. When i decided to come back home at Lago Maggiore i had an idea: combining the passion for mountain biking and my old experience in organising motorcycling tours. I became a certified MTB Guide and create this reality to let people discover awesome places on a bike. My goal is to keep learning and improving.
I can’t wait to guide you into “my world” and share some nice experience together.

MTB Guide Lombardy
I'm not an athlete, I'm not a practitioner of extreme sports, I haven't (yet) been cycling around the world without hands. I developed a great passion rather than a mania and the desire for freedom combined with the pleasure of the discovery of the territory convinced me to share these experiences with others, friends or tourists. I have obtained the MTB Guide patent recently, and thanks to my activity as a marketing consultant I can devote some of my time to the service of those who approach the practice of mtb and research a trusted connoisseur of the territory and a meticulous trainer hike. With over 30,000 km covered in the last 5 years, I have in fact acquired a considerable familiarity with the trails present in the area and the structures in support of mobility and tourism. Above all, I am well aware that you are out and about having fun! To give you a few hours of escape, to give you some nice emotion. For this reason I will guide you with confidence but respecting your needs, giving you all the breaks you want, suggesting goals, telling you anecdotes and dispensing some useful advice, so that your day spent cycling remains among the pleasant memories of your life.

Since I was young I've been in tight connection with nature , mountains and sports . Starting from long walking i bumped into snowboarding at the age of 16 but this was only the beginning . Along the years I realised that i wanted to understand more of the mountains and step by step I got closer to other sports moved by passion for discover different facets . At this stage climbing , splitboarding , mountaineering and mountain biking become all parts of the research giving me the opportunity to live moments that keep in mind forever and which i share with others with my photographs.

MTB Guide | Tour Assistant
Hi! I'm Fabio, mountain and nature lover. I come from near Verbania, my roots are in a small mountain Valley right above lake Maggiore!
Like some of most beautiful things my passion for mtb born...casually! One day I get out of home, taken a bike and started to pedal, discovering a beauty and a freedom that immediately became part of me, something I need!
Shortly after this I came into a cycling team and began to do races up to arrive to today being busy in important competitions around Italy and Europe.
But the centre of this is always the passion for the "fat tyres" that gave me the possibility to became a Guide of the National Mountain Bike Academy. Now my hope is to share the wonderful and wild places than this territory can offer wit you!
FRANCESCO KREBS
MTB Guide | Tour Assistant
I am the son of German parents and grew up between Verbania and the Ossola Valleys. Since childhood, I have always loved spending weekends immersed in nature, and my passion for skiing led us to move to Ossola, where I attended a ski college to continue competitive training.
Outdoor sports make me feel completely myself, and about ten years ago, I discovered my passion for mountain biking. Since then, I have become a true enthusiast—and a bit of a bike nerd—following the latest tests on bikes and components with great interest. Riding my MTB in the mountains is what fulfills me the most, especially when tackling technical single trails surrounded by wild landscapes.
In 2024, I became an MTB guide, a milestone that allows me to combine my passion for cycling with the joy of introducing others to the most beautiful trails in my region. I love creating unique experiences that blend adventure, fun, and a deep connection with nature. For me, every ride is an opportunity to share emotions, explore new paths, and create unforgettable moments on my bike.
