Description
Ski touring in the Mont Blanc is an experience that no ski touring fan should miss out on!
Mont Blanc (4810 m) is the highest mountain in the European Union. Its summit is covered in snow year-round. This guarantees that there will be good snow during the spring, when I'll take you up.
Mont Blanc's North Face is without a doubt one of the most amazing views of the Chamonix valley. We'll progress towards the summit with it on our sight and then get to ski on its Italian south side. Therefore you'll get to know this fantastic mountain all the way around!
During this program, I'll offer a bit of everything: some training runs and a short avalanche prevention lesson on the first day. In addition, we'll ski during two days on the Italian side of the mountain. Finally we'll do the summit attack from the French side.
Moreover, we'll have the pleasure of skiing down the Bossons glacier. And believe me when I say that sliding down these slopes could rank among some of your best runs ever!
So please contact me to make this 6-day Mont Blanc ski touring program happen. Also specify the number of people in your group and any other request that you may have, so that I can make the proper arrangements.

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!

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.
