François Cazzanelli is the new La Sportiva athlete
The mountaineer from Aosta Valley joins the Val di Fiemme family.
Born and raised at the foot of the Matterhorn, François Cazzanelli has always lived in close contact with the mountains and nature, and it is through these values that he approached La Sportiva. It is thanks to these values that he approached La Sportiva, the brand from Val di Fiemme, that he has been able to tackle some of his most intense expeditions, which have seen him take part in adventures both on his own Matterhorn and in the Himalayas.
A climber by passion, mountain guide and helicopter rescue operator by profession, Cazzanelli is also an athlete who has made speed his trademark: his ascent of Manaslu in just 18 hours was unforgettable. Thanks to his highly credible technical profile, he was chosen by La Sportiva to take its outdoor clothing products around the world.
Despite the fact that 2021 did not allow the athlete to climb K2, thus crowning one of his most ambitious dreams, Cazzanelli is already preparing to attempt the conquest of the Pakistani peak later this year.
