Description
If you love skiing, you can’t miss this opportunity to take one of the most popular routes in the Alps. Come with me on this classic program and enjoy skiing from Chamonix to Zermatt!
The Chamonix-Zermatt route is one of the most incredible trails in the Alps. It leads us through several stunning glaciers and allows us to contemplate spectacular landscapes. If you come with me on this exciting adventure, we’ll enjoy ski touring in the 3,000-meter peaks surrounding this area. Some of the beautiful natural spots that we’ll explore on this trip will be Lac de Champex, Lac des Dix and fantastic mountains such as Rosablanche (3,336 meters) and Pigne d’Arolla (3,796 meters). At the bottom of the page, you can take a look at a more detailed description of the itinerary.
Please, keep in mind that it’s very important to have background skiing experience as well as a very good level of fitness for this program. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way.

Intense mountain bike activity, including professional accompaniment, on the most beautiful paths in central Italy.

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!

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.
