Romain Ricchi

Originally from France, Romain has called Northern Norway home since 2019, when he made the move north in search of a different pace of life. Since then, he has explored vast areas above the Arctic Circle on skis, developing a deep connection to the terrain and the community.

In 2025, Romain founded PurplePeaks.no, a guiding and education initiative focused on avalanche safety and ski touring courses for both beginners and experienced backcountry riders. Today, he is based between Harstad and Lyngen, where he continues to share his knowledge and passion for safe, mindful mountain travel.
