Martin Štourač
Ski Touring • Climber • Paraglider • UIAGM Mountain Guide
Born in Prague, Martin developed a love for climbing in his childhood as a member of the local climbing club, specializing in sandstone climbing. In his youth, he also competed in terrain running and tennis, but soon his passion turned to paragliding. He built a successful paragliding career, participating not only in competitions but also in rare expeditions to the Pamir and Tian Shan mountains—experiences very few have had.
Since 2013, Martin has focused on ski touring expeditions alongside his friend Karel Svoboda, exploring some of the most remote mountain ranges of the Himalayas, Hindu Kush, Tian Shan, and Pamir. Karel describes Martin as a true enthusiast—though at first he thought he was rather daring! Skiing, climbing, paragliding, ski mountaineering—Martin excels at it all, which ultimately led him to pursue professional mountain guide training.
