Meet the Team
Andie SYMINGTON
Andie moved to Chamonix in 2004 when she, her husband Andy and their business partner Matt founded Mountain Base. Andie runs Rentals alongside Meg. Although mainly concentrating on admin and accounts, she is always available for enquiries and delighted to have continuity with the many guests who have been returning for over a decade.
Andie and her family love having everything on the doorstep. With hiking, biking, tennis, swimming and more in Summer and miles of pistes in Winter, there are options to tire out energetic children! On top of that, she loves the French way of life - fresh bread form the boulangerie, outdoor living and the importance of getting togther with friends and family.
Top tip: Chamonix is not only for extreme sports - it's really family-friendly!
Meg FULLER
Meg has been based in Chamonix since 2013 and was delighted to join Mountain Base in 2015. She now runs Mountain Base Rentals with Andie and an excellent team who do their utmost to ensure that guests have a fabulous stay. She is on hand to help with anything from recommending the most suitable property, advising owners on their rentals and answering any questions before or during a stay.
Meg loves the mountain lifestyle and is an avid rock climber and trail runner. Having completed a number of the races in Chamonix and surrounding areas, she's a good person to talk to about the trails in the valley. Although she adores the summers, she enjoys skiing and ski touring in winter.
Top tip: The view from Refuge de Loriaz is worth all the effort it takes to get there!
Carrie CRAIG
Carrie has been based in Chamonix since 2018 and joined the Mountain Base team in 2021. She looks after the finance and purchasing side of things at Mountain Base, liaising with owners and suppliers to ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Jemima WATERS
Jemima moved to Chamonix in 2012 and joined the Mountain Base Rentals team in 2017. Her role involves managing the company’s website and content alongside taking bookings and responding to enquiries. She is happy to help answer any questions you have about the resort and welcomes your feedback on the website.
Laura VERRES
Laura discovered the Chamonix valley in 2017 and since then the mountains and the lovely community convinced here to start a new adventure here. She started working with Mountain Base in 2021 helping the services team with property checks, organize pre-arrivals and meeting and greeting guests.
Mitch (Ghit MADALIN)
Mitch is Mountain Base Rentals housekeeping manager. His role is to coordinate and support the head cleaners to make sure the properties are ready for guest and owner arrivals. He is often whizzing between properties picking up and delivering linen and making sure they are well equipped with the provisions we include for self catering.
Mitch moved to Chamonix because it is a place where the winters are longer which works well for his love of snowboarding. In the summer he is often found playing basketball on the track at the sports centre and generally enjoying the positive summer vibe.
Top tip: Wear a helmet and respect the mountain.
Satu KATAJA
Satu helps to organise pre-arrival services, meeting and greeting guests and ensuring thorough property checks. She is on hand to answer any questions you may have about your holiday or the Chamonix Valley.
Will CORDER
Will joined Mountain Base Rentals in 2019. He is responsible for maintaining our property presentation standards working closely with our head cleaners. Thanks to his previous Super Yachts experience his attention to detail is second to none. Will is the person to contact to arrange any additional housekeeping services during your stay. He is also very handy with tools so can resolve small maintenance issues.
Will loves the mountains and previously lived in Chamonix between 2000 - 2007 when he completed the Tour du Mont Blanc and climbed the infamous Mont Blanc! In his spare time Will enjoys both skiing and snowboarding, as well as mountain biking and road cycling.
