The values behind the Mètis Expedition: Surpassing yourself and inspiration 

This challenge is much more than just a physical adventure:

It's a quest for personal development and sharing. Loïc wants to inspire the younger generation to dare to dream big and take concrete action for a more sustainable future. He believes that a spirit of surpassing oneself and adaptability are essential for success in life and for achieving ambitious goals.

Travelling beyond the limits  

Far from being a beginner in the field of adventure, Loïc Explore has already completed several remarkable explorations.

In 2018, Loïc began exploring New Zealand, the Alps and the Balkans. In 2021, he took off to cover 100 kilometres in the freezing cold of Lapland and crossed Switzerland on foot in 5 days. Finally, he fulfilled one of his greatest dreams by setting off on a solo expedition into the Amazon rainforest of French Guiana.

This rich journey is a testament to Loïc's determination and courage, and a reminder that anything is possible with passion and perseverance.
