About me

About me

Here I am, my name is Marco Gabbin, I was born in 1973 in a little province of Asti in Italy.
Now I'm living in Ivrea, near Turin, where I'm working too. I'm an Telecomunication engineer but, as soon as I have time, (after work, during the WE, my vacations), I spend my time in mountain....

Here my passions

MTB, race bike and cyclotourism

Mountaineering

Snowboarding (some years ago...)

Skymountaineering
