He was a finalist in the 2005 Paris - Dakar Rally. He reached the North Pole in 2007, the South Pole in 2011 with Coco Galescu, and was part of the first Romanian team to reach Manaslu Peak in the Himalayas, which was led by Horia Colibasanu.
Martin Freinandemetz
Co-Founder
"When I was born in December 1969, there was so much snow that my parents couldn't drive me home from hospital. When I was 8 months old, my instincts told me to stop crawling and I started to walk. When I was 2 years old, I started skiing in our garden. When I was 12 years old, my father cut my skateboard in two because I caused a car accident. When I was 16 years old, I bought my first snowboard. Now I'm a bit older and I'm still totally addicted to snowboarding!"
Cristian Dunca
Managing Director & Mountain Guide
He was born with a passion for extreme sports and adrenaline. Cristi has been skiing since he was three years old. His first contact with a ski slope was here, at Muntele Mic, RO. For the love of nature and mountains, and of course skiing, Cristi earned his bachelor’s degree in Vienna in the tourism and hospitality industries. For him, Heliski means freedom and respect for the mountain.

Catri Naicu
Lead Guide (AGMR)
Born in 1978, it didn’t take long before I learned how to ski in Palatines, only 25 km from where I grew up in Sibiu. I attended the ski club of Sibiu and became a racer. I have had the pleasure of skiing in the USA for a few months as well, even during Ceausescu’s time. In 2008, I became a mountain-guide of the Romanian Mountain-Guide Association (AGMR), as well as an instructor on their team.
Catri Enache
AGMR & UIAGM Mountain Guide
I’ve been climbing the mountains since the early 90’s. I was part of the Romanian National Climbing Team between 2014 and 2015, and attended the Climbing World Cup in 2014. I became a certified mountain-guide of the Romanian Mountain-Guide Association (AGMR) and UIAGM, as well as an instructor on their team. I’m also an ISIA Cat 3 ski instructor and climbing instructor.

Mountain Guide
Everything is within us! For me, being connected to Nature is the best way of discovering the universe surrounding us, as well as the one within. Riding powder and barrels is the ultimate way of connecting with Mother Nature, the Nirvana.
