Description

The Benevolo Hut in Val di Rhemes is a must for everyone passionate about ski touring. Come and stay there for 3 days and enjoy its strategic location, discovering the wide range of possible routes it offers! The hut is located in the Aosta Valley, one of the most interesting areas in the Alps to practice this sport.

From the refuge you can indeed reach 14 different peaks: standard climbs like the Pointe de la Galise and the Pointe de Calabre or more technical as the Tsanteleina and the Grande Parei (in these cases there will be a reduction in the number of participants).

My goal during our stay in the refuge is to take advantage of the different orientations of the slopes to get the best snow for unique ski tours.

It is also possible to make crossings to the neighboring valleys, like Valgrisenche to the Bezzi refuge, Valsavarenche to the Chivasso refuge, or Val d’Isère in France to the Prariond refuge.

It is rather difficult to establish a detailed program in advance, given the different possibilities. Usually, we meet very early in the morning to go up from the hut and climb a summit. We can also have a short course on avalanche rescue. The beer on the refuge terrace in the evening will help us plan the following days.

So if you are in for this 3-day ski tour, just book your trip and come join me in the Aosta Valley! Get ready for amazing descents on great snow!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
