Description

There is nothing nature can’t soothe.  During this trip, we will soak up the fresh air of the Swiss Pre-Alps while we take in the countryside and learn about traditional herbal remedies!

The beautiful landscape of Charmey, a small village in the district of Gruyère, may be famous for its cheeses, but is also the site of beautiful green mountain meadows, valleys, lakes, and thermal streams.  Situated in the Pre-Alps of Switzerland, it is a tranquil place that will give you peace of mind and body.

During this excursion, I will guide you through the countryside of the village.  We will spend a half-day strolling among the green pastures and gardens, where we will have the opportunity to learn about the traditional medicinal plants that grow in the region.   You will even be able to pick the plants that interest you so you can take them home and prepare them later, honoring the ancient healing remedies that have been passed down through the generations.

Book now and I guarantee you will feel refreshed and renewed after this trip, no matter what ails you!

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.
