Description

La Patrouille des Glaciers is a mythical ski touring course. It takes place every two years. The large patrouille runs from Zermatt to Verbier. It is 53 km long which is about 110 km-effort. The small patrouille starts from Arolla and reaches Verbier. The route is 27 km long which is about 50 km-effort.

This course takes place in a impressive beautiful framework! Tête Blanche, Riedmatten pass, Barma, Rosablanche, Chaux pass … so many beautiful landscapes that will remain etched in your memory.

I’ve run this course several times already. This is a fabulous experience I like to share with my clients and friends.

But beware, this course does not just happen! A physical and mental training is essential, as a good team cohesion, able to withstand all tests.

I propose to coach you on some key aspects of the race so that can be a good time for you and you can work on the goal that you set.

Depending on your needs, we will work on:

  • Physical training

  • Skiing techniques of roped ascent and descent ski

  • Path / trail recognition

  • Mental preparation

  • Team management

  • Acclimatization management

  • Nutrition management

  • Equipment preparation

I invite you to contact me to discuss. I will define a customized program based on your wishes. I’d be happy to be your guide in this supervision and preparation!

  • Guiding fee

About the guide

Nicole

Mountain Leader

UIAGM / IFMGA mountain guide
Growing up in the Alps, the mountains have always been a great playground for me and my family. I started mountaineering with my family, first by doing some easy trekking with my parents, then by climbing more technical stuff with my brothers and sister. Today, I'm an UIAGM mountain guide, I'm also writing my master thesis about snow and avalanches.
I climbed the Eiger North Face with my brother and boyfriend. I has been my most intense mountaineering experience until now. I have also done several ascents in the Chamonix area, which I love and like to describe it as the "Disneyland of mountaineering".
My long term project is to climb technical ascents in women teams.
I will be happy to guide you for some climbing, mountaineering or skiing trips, here in Switzerland or anywhere else in the Alps. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

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!

Maxine

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.

Cami

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.
