Jacopo Buffachi: Italian Mountain Guide and Head of Design at Rab and Lowe Alpine

Jacopo was born in Courmayeur beneath the giant Italian face of Mt Blanc. He was skiing well before he started school and dreamed of becoming a mountain guide.

Jacopo shares the thrill of climbing his first 4000 metre peak with his father, about his work as a guide and his passion for supporting mountain guides in the countries of South America. He talks about the inherent risks and how he transitioned to work as a designer. Most of all I wanted to ask, why are Italians always so well dressed and what does he really think of British food?
