Description
This 1-day hiking and photography tour in Haut Val de Bagnes, in the Swiss canton of Valais, will give you the chance to photograph this region's very rich fauna in its particularly beautiful natural environment.
Spring is the season of births. You'll see young goats having some fun under their mother's careful watch. Learn how to observe the game, how to approach it and how to photograph it.
I've got lots of experience taking photographs in this high mountain environment. I will help you be in the right place at the right time! The animals know how to thwart even the best plans…so you'll need an expert!
We'll also cover some of the basics — speed, light, depth of field, etc. — that will allow to take great photographs. We'll talk about angles, composition and not missing great opportunities for lack of anticipation. And all this with the most beautiful landscapes as a backdrop!
You need a good fitness level to participate in this hiking and photography tour. However, there won't be any technical difficulties so this program is open to even beginner hikers.
If this 1-day tour sounds interesting, contact me to make it happen. You'll take home the most beautiful images as well as an unforgettable experience!
And if you enjoy photographing flowers, check out my photographic tour of Les Follateres National Reserve.

About the guide
François
Mountain Guide
I was born on a freezing day in January, 1956, and that day’s sub-zero temperatures would serve as on omen for my professional life, dedicated to the mountains.
In college, I majored in Engineering and Natural Sciences (glaciology and geophysics), with the goal of understanding the mysterious forces that have sculpted the Earth’s mountains. After graduation, my passion for photography and writing led me to become a reporter specialized on issues related to the mountains.
A father of two, I have relentlessly roamed the vast horizons…of my native Valais, in Switzerland, from the plains to the high summits — always with my camera in hand and my notepad in my pocket. I currently alternate between my work as a journalist and my job as a mountain guide, which provides a delicate balance between body and mind that is essential to my well-being.

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.
