Massimiliano Gelmini - for everyone simply Max - is a Medium Mountain Guide a native of San Giovanni Bianco. A mountain enthusiast from a young age, he began to consistently frequent the alpine environment at age 18, running among the trails with Atletica San Giovanni Bianco. Racing among the Orobie Mountains fueled his curiosity, prompting him to learn more about the area and explore first his home mountains, then the entire Orobic arc and later many other mountain ranges.
In 2006 he participated in the Bergamo CAI course for Youth Mountaineering Accompanist, guiding young hikers to discover the mountains. In 2009, fascinated by the underground world, he took the Introduction to Speleology Course with CAI Bergamo's Speleo Club Orobico, a discipline that he continues to practice and that also allows him to learn about the mountains from the inside.
In 2021 he turned his passion into a profession, becoming a Medium Mountain Guide: an opportunity to experience the environment he loves on a daily basis and share experiences, emotions and skills with those who choose to rely on him for hiking, trekking and travel.
Since 2024 it has been part of the Orobie Valtellinesi Park Guides., further solidifying his connection with these mountains.
Max enthusiastically accompanies the discovery of the mountains, with special attention to lesser-known places but capable of providing awe, authenticity and unique emotions.
