I invite you to a unique rock climbing experience in a spectacular scenery. Join me for a 2-day guided rock climb in the Arête des Cosmiques and spend a night in a portaledge!
If you have a good head for heights and a brave spirit, an overnight hanging from the rock is something you have to experience!
It might sound risky, but I assure you sleeping on a portaledge is very safe. It's such a unique feeling, sleeping there with no one around, just us and the mountains. And from the Cosmiques Ridge, we will be able to enjoy a magnificent view of Mont Blanc.
The Arête des Cosmiques, also called Cosmiques Ridge, is one of the most popular routes in the impressive Mont Blanc Massif. It has a few challenging sections, but it is not too difficult. It has varied routes that offer a great diversity of climbing options. Also, it's really exposed and offers amazing views.
In the program I propose I offer you the option of just sleeping there: going down from the top and installing the portaledge not far from the top, or in the middle of the wall. Or we have the option of climbing up from the bottom of the wall and sleeping in the midddle. Then, with this option, the day after we would either abseil down or climb up.
Please note it’s possible to join this tour with no climbing experience.
If you want to go somewhere else or if the conditions at Arête des Cosmiques are not good, we can do this same program on the Brévent peak or in Annecy, above the lake. These are also 2 amazing spots for this great climbing adventure.
So if you want to be part of this unique experience, just send me a request! We will start planning this adventure in the Arête des Cosmiques right away.

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.
