The coach: Loïc Preghenella
Mountain leader
After studying cinema in Nancy, Loïc Preghenella quickly opened up his own path by becoming, at the age of 22, managing director of a production company he founded with a group of friends who were passionate about the audiovisual industry.
It was in 2020 that this all-round sportsman (table tennis, trail-running, cycling...) decided to reorient himself as a mountain guide. In fact, his many filming experiences with top-level athletes all over the world led him to set up an independent structure to share best practice in outdoor sports.
Coaching and atypical courses
Now a naturalist guide in the Mercantour National Park, Loïc Preghenella offers coaching and oxygenation courses for hikers, Nordic walkers and trail runners based in Nice, with a focus on sober and ecological concepts (consumption of local produce, train travel, overnight stays in bivouacs and activities in natural areas). He is also developing atypical experiences with other members of the Shantha Coaching network, addressing themes aimed at companies, athletes and individuals alike.
Recognized sportsman and qualified sports coach
In addition to all this, Loïc has enjoyed taking part for years in ultra-distance cycling events (from the Vosges to North Cape, 4,200kms in 34 days in 2018, Born To Ride 2021: 1,200kms from Fontainebleau to the Pyrenees in 99 hours on his own) and trail running (finisher of the Grand Raid des Pyrénées 160kms, Ultra Mirage in the Tunisian desert 100kms, Trans'Martinique 140kms...).
In his rucksack, he has a Diplôme d'État d'accompagnateur montagne. He is also a trail-running, snowshoeing and Nordic walking instructor. Loïc Preghenella is also an ambassador for the Marathon Pour Tous Paris 2024.
