What if the mountains were more than just a place for adventure? Zian Perrot Couttet, 22, volunteer rescuer and future mountain guide, takes us into his daily life—between summits, rescues, and reflections on the meaning of the rope team.

In this interview filmed at Plan de l’Aiguille facing the Aiguille du Midi, Zian Perrot Couttet shares his journey as a young alpinist, committed to mountain rescue while preparing for his mountain guide certification. He speaks about his deep connection to the mountains, the evolution of alpine practices, the realities of rescue work, and the importance of sharing, rope-team spirit, and the aesthetic of the path one leaves behind.

Humble and passionate, Zian embodies a new generation deeply connected to nature and guided by strong values.
