Nil Hoppenot / Marie Couderc
Marie - I have been a great traveler since adolescence. I first discovered Europe, then Africa and Latin America. Gradually, longer and longer treks became part of my travels. I have always been sensitive to others and to relationships between people. After hesitating to become a psychologist, I finally began studying Sociology and then turned to Human Resources. For 7 years, I held various positions with an international dimension in Human Resources in a large industrial group. In January 2017, I decided to start a life that is more like me, to devote my time and my energy to something that really matters to me. Quickly, with Nil, we imagine the adventure Deux Pas Vers l’Autre, which we see as the beginning of a new chapter, more than as a parenthesis.

What is your best memory in the mountains?
Nil - My best memory is the moment when I saw the valley open up after having crossed the entire Alpine arc on foot. I will always remember the end, in the snow in November, making for tricky conditions on the steep slopes. The entire journey took about four months, and we were treated to such amazing and grandiose landscapes. We even had the chance, and the audacity, to climb some 4000m on the way. A dream.
Marie - The Aletsch glacier. The discovery of the biggest glacier of the Alps has marked me forever. I had never seen anything like it. Up there, time and space have no hold, it is like being on another planet, divided between a feeling of immensity and smallness.
