My wife and I and 15 year old daughter had a fun day in Gressoney/ Indren with Nicolas. Sadly the conditions were not very good for off piste on this day but nonetheless our guide Nicolas was very helpful and knowledgeable Explore share communication and organisation was excellent throughout. I would recommend this company

First time for us backcountry with guide. Nicolas really made the best of it despite difficult spring conditions with only little snow left on the slopes. He even found some powder for us. He is really nice company too. Booking was smooth too with fast responses from both admin and our guide Nicolas.

John

Nicolas was a skilled and knowledgeable guide. We were disappointed that there were not told beforehand that we had to pay for the transport up and down the mountain. We were given the impression these coats were included in the trip. Be prepared to pay 150 Euros more than the quoted price for the tram and train tickets.
