His career as an adventurer began in 1982 when Vannier, fascinated by the northern regions of the European Hemisphere, set out on a journey through Lapland. Then there were many more trips to various points of the globe, from canoeing in the footsteps of Indians in Quebec to a trip to Alaska or the Rocky Mountains on traditional transport for these places; from the crossing of Siberia from Mongolia to the Arctic Ocean to the White Odyssey – dog sled travel in Alaska in less than 100 days.
Was Vannier and Siberian Odyssey – 8000 km and 4 months in Siberia from Irkutsk to Moscow, from Lake Baikal to the finish line on Red Square and a number of trips, based on some of which he made films.
