Description

The Grand Combin massif rises high in the Pennine Alps of Switzerland. A gorgeous and enormous collection of peaks, the Combins are a fantastic, but challenging, area to trek through. And for 6 days, I would like to guide you on an adventure around this amazing massif.

Beginning in Bourg St. Pierre, we will trek from 4 to 8 hours each day during this trip. The terrain will be wild and difficult. As a result, participants should have prior experience trekking in mountainous areas. It is also important that you are in good physical condition as well.

Each day of this trip will take you to another stunning location in the Grand Combin massif. Those locations include Col de Mille, Panossiere, Chanrion, Champillon, and St. Rhemy. Each one of these locations will provide you with unique and amazing views. You will get to see the massif’s collection of peaks, a selection of wonderful valleys and even the Corbassiere glacier.

Every night, you will get to stay in a different mountain cabin. From the Cabane Brunet and the Cabane du Col de Mille to the Cabane de Chanrion, each one of these cabins is at an altitude exceeding 2000 meters. The highest cabin, the Cabane Champillon rests at an at altitude of 2,465 meters. As a result of their locations, even when you’ve finished trekking for the day, you will get to enjoy amazing evening views of the Grand Combin massif, as well as the stars when night finally takes over.

Trekking through a massif like Grand Combin is a thrilling and enthralling experience. And while it is a challenging adventure, it is a rewarding one. And if you want to be a part of it, just send me a request.

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.
