Jennifer Stretton, UIMLA Certified International Mountain Leader

Jen grew up about as far from the mountains and nature as you can get—in Birmingham, UK. When she first visited the Alps on a university climbing trip, she immediately fell in love with the place. After graduating with a degree in Geography, Jennifer spent the next few years travelling the world, volunteering with conservation charities and freelance marketing to fund her adventures. In 2015 she settled full time in the Chamonix Valley and began training to become an international mountain leader.

An avid climber and environmentalist, Jen’s passion for the mountains and the natural world is contagious. When she’s not guiding, Jennifer spends her free time climbing, skiing, travelling and trying to keep up with her dog on trail runs. Sociable, caring and always smiling, Jen is the perfect guide to keep you laughing and motivated on your journey. She looks forward to meeting you over the summer!

"Our Tour du Mont Blanc was far and above anything I could have imagined and Jen absolutely made the trip! Her knowledge of the area was so interesting. She is so professional, polite and kind. Thank you for making our trip so perfect." - Betty Jean O Steen, USA

"Jen is a wonderful guide and leader. We learned so much from her everyday of our journey. We appreciated how she took care of us each day and we admired how she dealt with our challenges. Above all we appreciated the chance to get to know such a good heart and mind and enjoyed philosophising with her along the way. Thank you for everything! We hope to get to see you again." - Liz and Greg Fox, USA

“From the first day of our journey, you expertly led us on a dream vacation. But more importantly, you welcomed us into your life and seamlessly became our friend. And for this, I cannot thank you enough.” – K.W., London
