About Live Breathe Hike
Live Breathe Hike is an independently owned and operated adventure travel operator with a mission ‘to deliver life changing experiences and wellbeing in the outdoors’.
Founded by Tanya Perret and based near Chamonix in the French Alps, Live Breathe Hike have offered adventure travel opportunities since 1997, building upon a passion for the outdoors which began for Tanya during childhood and continued into education and her career.
A graduate of Sheffield Hallum University and the University of Plymouth, Tanya Perret holds an MSc in Rural Development, a post-graduate teaching qualification, and has returned to education as a guest lecturer specialising in tourism related subjects.
An accomplished mountaineer and International Mountain Leader having climbed a number of 4, 6, and 8000 meter peaks, Tanya has guided over 250 groups and expeditions around the world.
With accreditation and memberships including Adventure Travel Trade Association (AATA), and SIM (Syndicate Interprofessional de la Montagne), Live Breathe Hike believes in protecting the environments we enjoy. With ethical and sustainable approaches underpinning all that we do, Live Breathe Hike remains focused on delivering its mission statement of nearly 30 years:
'To deliver life changing experiences and wellbeing in the outdoors'
Experience........ counts!
Our trek leaders are selected, not only because of their world class experience and internationally recognised qualifications, but also because of their ability to embody the Live Breathe Hike ethos.
All of our leaders are experts in the routes they lead, but also offer fantastic local knowledge of the ‘hidden secrets’ that make a Live Breathe Hike trip unique. From knowledge of the local geography, flora and fauna to the most amazing photography locations and the best local spots to eat at night, our leaders engage, inform, energise and share the Live Breathe Hike passion for the outdoors.
Live Breathe Hike Ethos
LiveBreatheHike is dedicated to creating immersive outdoor experiences that reconnect people with nature, movement, and mindfulness. We believe in hiking as more than just a physical activity—it’s a way to explore, reflect, and rejuvenate.
Our ethos centers on thoughtful adventure, sustainable practices, and curated journeys that balance challenge with comfort, allowing every hiker to experience the beauty, culture, and spirit of the places they visit.
We believe that our testimonials speak for themselves but we want to offer you our cast iron guarantee, reflecting standards and service that you would expect from the trip of a lifetime.
Your initial enquiry will almost certainly be managed by Tanya, LBH founder and owner. A hugely experienced International Mountain Leader, Tanya has guided in the region of 250 groups over the years. Working with someone who knows each trip intimately means you will have a personalised experience from the very beginning, ensuring together that we create a unique adventure which goes above and beyond your expectations.

Our Climate Commitment
We care deeply about the Alpine environment and are passionate about sharing this incredible landscape with our guests.
We understand that tourism is another pressure on the fragile ecosystem and accept responsibility for the carbon emissions that our tours produce. We are therefore committed to reducing our impact as much as possible.
As we cannot eliminate all sources of carbon emissions for our tours, we have decided to donate €10 per client to high impact pro-climate nonprofits recommended by the world's leading climate charity evaluators.
