Nepal 2026:
The Grand Departure for Ama Dablam and Lhotse

Hello everyone,

I am truly happy to finally share with you a project that means the world to me. On March 20, 2026, I will set off for two months in Nepal 🇳🇵, where I will attempt to climb Ama Dablam (6,812 m) and then Lhotse (8,516 m). I have been preparing for this adventure for over a year; it represents a key milestone before moving toward my ultimate goal: K2.

Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of one day standing atop an 8,000-meter peak. Messner’s legendary feats have always inspired me, and today, that dream is finally taking shape. The hardest part is undoubtedly balancing all of this with my medical studies, but it is a challenge I embrace with passion.

I would also like to thank everyone supporting me in this preparation. My physical trainer, Olivier Fizaine, who helps me push my limits day after day, and Mathieu Guilo, high-mountain guide, with whom I train in the Alps to progress both technically and mentally. My thanks also go to Raimonds Sarkanis for the editing and all the visual work surrounding this project.

And of course, a huge thank you to my partners for their support and trust: h2a my communication agency accompanying me on this project, Caspers Climbing Shop and the Groupe Alpin.

I can’t wait to share this adventure with you—to show you the behind-the-scenes of the preparation, the highs, the lows, the training, and everything a project of this scale represents.

The adventure begins now.
