Rémi Escoffier (sometimes spelled Rémy Escoffier) is a French mountaineer, mountain guide, and stuntman from a family where a passion for the mountains is naturally passed down.

He is the brother of Éric Escoffier, with whom he shared a solid athletic background, notably in gymnastics. This physical foundation, combined with intensive climbing training, allowed them to quickly reach the highest levels of excellence, with Rémi being particularly at ease on mixed terrain, which distinguished him from his brother, who was more adept at rock climbing.

In the early 1980s, Rémi distinguished himself with remarkable ascents. In April 1983, he soloed the North Couloir des Drus in eight hours, a feat that demonstrated his determination and endurance. Beyond his climbs on routes as prestigious as the Pilier Bonatti, Rémi Escoffier stands out for his in-depth work worthy of high-level athletes, considering climbing as a sport in its own right, with its own training methods and demands for progression and performance.

In addition to his mountain exploits, Rémy Escoffier also works as a stuntman in the film industry, where his mastery of alpine techniques has proven invaluable in the creation of spectacular scenes. His physical dedication, inherited from solid athletic training and intensive training, has earned him a reputation as a key professional in the world of extreme sports and action cinema.

Alongside his mountaineering activities, Rémi is also involved in the organization and promotion of mountain sports. He plays an important role in the creation and development of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, which has become one of his passions. His involvement in the Groupe de Haute Montagne (GHM), which he also chairs, has allowed him to shape the French high-level alpine scene, providing young talents with ideal training conditions to achieve their feats. He and Guy Chaumereuil launched the Piolet d'Or award in 1991, annually honoring excellence in alpine achievement.

Rémi Escoffier is also known for organizing numerous Himalayan expeditions, bringing French mountaineering to the international stage. Through his achievements and commitment, he has greatly contributed to the reputation of mountaineering and extreme sports in France.
