Description

Join me on this 4-day program in the spectacular Massif des Ecrins, in the southern Alps, and enjoy an amazing climbing experience, reaching the summit of the Aiguille Dibona (3131m) among other peaks.

Lying in the Hautes-Alpes and in the Isère departments, the Massif des Écrins forms the core of the Écrins National Park. It offers some great alpine climbs, with a wide variety of beautiful routes of all levels and famous summits such as La Barre des Ecrins or La Meije.

During these 4 days, we will enjoy fantastic climbs, staying every night at a different mountain hut. Amazing rock, long climbs and a glacial environment in some sections make this a great mountaineering programme.

Starting from La Bérarde, the very center of Les Ecrins, we will ascend the Chèze Pillar (2225 m) on the first day. It is the easiest climb of our tour in the Vénéon Valley.

We will follow on the second day with the Tête Sud du Replat ( 3428 m ). The next day we will climb the Pointe d’Amont north ridge ( 3338 m ), and finally we will ascend to the Aiguille Dibona summit on the last day. Please note you need previous climbing and hiking experience (level 5+ second).

If you want to join me on this wonderful climbing programme in the Ecrins Massif, just send me a request. Book your trip and get ready for a unique adventure!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

Joshua

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.
