I am Lithuanian living in Zermatt, the best village in the world, year-round from 2021 and enjoying these big mountains on skis, bike, foot and paraglide everyday since then. Would you like me to show you around my favourite place whilst becoming a better skier? Best coffee stop? Spectacular lunch place or best Apres-ski in town? Request me!
Started skiing cross-country in 2011 which later helped me to move straight-forward into alpine skiing. In 2023 qualified as a ski instructor. In 2024 as a paragliding pilot. And further work in progress on the skills and experiences needed to become a full scale mountain expert, I mean mountain guide.
More than 20 years ago I was introduced to foot, bike and ski orienteering, which taught me to respect nature and necessary skills to be comfortable and confident in navigating a diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain whilst moving at speed.
Later I’ve studied Civil engineering, but after 4 years of studies, understood that mountains is the place I want to live and outdoors I want to work for the rest of my life. To challenge myself, I’ve competed in countless long distance races and adventures all over the europe from Ironmans, mountain biking, ski and foot mountaineering to ultra trail running races (up to 200 miles) to explore the nature, while moving fast and light in a technical environment.
In 2017 at island of La Palma, at one of the most beautiful races in the world I met my future wife and what brought me to move to England for the next four years with a plan to move somewhere to the mountains together soon after. Aosta? Chamonix? Zermatt? You know the answer!

Ski
Least busy ski slopes with already good snow conditions are the months of December till Christmas and January except a week after New Year. Enjoy!
Other time I work in bakery, also love ski touring up the mountain on super light skimo skis before even cable cars open so I get to ski a very first line on freshly prepared slopes whilst being totally alone or with friends and see amazing sunrise. And I go paragliding to enjoy the best ever view and freedom from above.
1. To enjoy safe, stress-free skiing with a local knowledge of the whole area including italian side, mountains around, best spots for coffee, lunch and apres-ski whilst guiding and/or improving your skiing.
2. Either teaching or working on my own skiing I love details, I always interested why, when and how something is happening in our body and movement, and what is the best for us to progress in a fastest and easiest way.
3. I like to challenge myself and others, I think we progress the most when we place ourselves in an uncomfortable position, even we fail, learning from mistakes is where we get the most out of it and I am here to help and guide you through, in the best possible way to achieve your goals.
