Hubert Boixeda
mountaineering
Originally from a village nestled in the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees, Hubert has been, from a very young age, in contact with nature. It was in his teens that he was introduced to climbing and canyoning.
Becoming a great lover of mountain activities, he obtained both his DE (State Diploma) of Mountain Leader and that of Canyon Instructor.
Today, mountaineering is an integral part of Hubert's life and he mainly dedicates himself to the realization of alpine races, all as difficult as varied, alongside his rope companion, Kilian Moni, also a member of the Cimalp team. A career military man, Hubert also enjoys skiing and cycling/ mountain biking.
