Anouk Erni

About

Anouk Erni grew up on the glaciers and peaks of Switzerland, where she found an appreciation and stoke for the elevated outdoors from an early age. As a young adult, she eventually ventured to California where she learned to rock climb and fell in love with the west coast. Even though she calls the Eastern Sierra her home, she began her guiding career in the Pacific Northwest, where she worked on glaciated peaks such as Mt Rainier and Mt Baker. She ultimately returned to California eight years ago and has been rock, alpine, and ski guiding in California year round. Anouk is an AMGA Aspirant Mountain Guide, as well as an AIARE and AAI avalanche course leader. She hopes to fulfill her dream of becoming a certified IFMGA Mountain Guide in the next couple of years and then expand her guiding part time into Europe, all while still calling the Sierra her home.
