Description
Chamonix is without a doubt the dream of every skier and snowboarder. This time I’ll guide you there, to make it come true in a fantastic 6 day traverse in the heart of the French Alps.
With many peaks higher than 4000 meters, Chamonix is the perfect destination for those looking to have a good powder snowboarding time!
In order to fully enjoy the expedition and not to waste too many energies climbing the mountains, I have planned a combined program with some ski lifts as well as some ascents using our splitboard. That way we’ll be able to find hidden places with the best powder and have some physical strength to snowboard them down.
As for the itinerary, we’ll meet up and drive directly to Chamonix. On day 2 we’ll get to know each other on splitboards and learn how to use the transceiver. Once we have the basics of security in the mountains the best part comes! I’ll guide you to the best and wildest corners of Chamonix to get the most out of the runs with the minimum possible hiking effort.
So if you find this freeride snowboarding tour in Chamonix interesting, please send your request and book your place!
I also lead the same program exclusively for skiers. You can check it out here.

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.
