Description

Eager to cross from France to Switzerland via the unique 'Haute Route' that connects Chamonix to Zermatt? It's a quiet demanding but super rewarding experience, probably the best you'll live in the Alps!

Join this 6-day splitboarding tour and get immersed in a fantastic white world, full of mountains and glaciers. And of course, the best powder runs to enjoy superb snowboarding descents!

This traverse starts in Chamonix, from where we'll take a ski lift and go to Aiguille du Midi. Here we'll have a training lesson on how to properly use the avalanche transceiver. After that, exciting days of splitbording await ahead, in Grands Montets, Coll de Chardonnet, and Plateau de Trient. Then, a traverse to Champez and a taxi ride to Verbier to spend a great night at Mont Fort mountain hut.

Finally we will ascent Pigne d’Arolla (3776 m) on day 5 and snowboard down to the Vignettes mountain hut so that we'll enjoy a traverse the last day, in direction to Coll de Valpelline with a final long ski descent to Zermatt.

If you're an intermediate splitboarder looking for some fun in the Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route, send your request and make your reservation now!

I also lead programs aimed at ski tourers like this 5-day trip in Carros de Foc , Pyrenees.

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.
