TEAM TSG

JEAN CHEMALY

FOUNDER, THE SPORTS GURU

Convinced that the mountains leave no one unchanged, Jean set up The Sports Guru with the aim to share his passion with others.

He focused on building The Sports Guru with a personal identity, always available on the phone ahead of your adventure to help you decide whether it’s for you, or assist you with last minute questions.

Building a Sports Guru family over the years by the fact that most of our clients come back for more!

A nature and sports addict, he is also an engineer by trade which explains his meticulous planning skills!

Jean has extensive experience in organizing and leading hiking tours across the world, ranging from the Himalayas to the Alps.

The first time Stefanie experienced a multi day hike was with The Sports Guru, under non stop torrential rain and a snow storm—yet got hooked just the same!

With a day job that has her travel the world to many challenging, and often dangerous places, she is a firm believer in the healing powers of the mountains.

The ability to disconnect from our hectic lives, get out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves both physically and mentally, is the best therapy in her opinion!

She has also learnt from day one that the weather on the mountains is totally unpredictable… and so as with life, be prepared for anything it throws at you!
