Leila Al-Qattan

Leila is a life-long lover of the mountains, and spending almost a decade of summers in and around Megève has only deepened that passion. Growing up in the US, summer camp wasn't just a childhood memory, it was a rite of passage. She always knew she wanted to create that same kind of transformative experience rooted in the Alps she and her family call a second home.

With a background in luxury travel and an instinct for what makes a truly exceptional summer, Leila founded Peak Pioneers to bring together the best of both worlds - world-class outdoor adventure and the kind of warm, carefully considered experience that parents trust and children never forget..
