Marco 'Sbiru' Zanni

Marco, or Sbiru as everyone calls him, was born in a small village at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, in a valley nestled between the two most beautiful mountain ranges in Trentino: the Adamello-Presanella and the Brenta Dolomites.
Marco grew up practicing various mountain activities, though his first ever passion was cycling. At 14 years old he began climbing and it was love at first sight. First he practiced indoor to then moved onto more challenging locations outdoors in the Brenta Dolomites, unable to stop! The passion for climbing opened new horizons for Marco, first he moved to the Sarca valley in the north of Lake Garda, a climber's paradise, where he was able to train on single and multi pitch routes. The subsequent choice for him was to turn his passion into a profession, so at the age of 25 he began studying to become a mountain guide, and three years later 2014 he earned his qualification.
Throughout the years Marco climbed all over Italy and several locations in Europe, Asia and South America, with more to come in his bucket list. Marco's main desire is to be able to share his experience with his clients eager to discover the world of mountaineering.
Marco speaks Italian, Spanish and English.
