Discover ski touring in Les Vosges with Patrice, a local IFMGA certified mountain guide. An opportunity to learn / practice this amazing winter activity in a beautiful setting!
Vosges
+1 Day
Jan - Mar, Dec
The terrain of Les Vosges is particularly suitable for a ski touring initiation. Both in ascending and descending you will learn new techniques in all safety if you are a beginner. If you are more experienced, touring here will be a good opportunity for you to explore with me the surroundings.
Furthermore, the landscape when you leave the beaten path is unique here. We will take the time to appreciate their beauty. I am a local, therefore you can imagine that I know the area very well. If you like discovering hidden spots, I will be glad to lead you to the best ones!
In addition, if the level of the participants is adequate, we will enjoy some more steep descents and learn the techniques for this terrain.
This program is not restricted to adults. In fact, it’s a great option for a family with kids wanting to live new experiences!
And if you are curious, we can combine in one trip, ski touring with other nice activities like winter climbing (ice climbing) and snowshoeing. This is of course if the conditions are favorable.
Are you interested about coming with me in Les Vosges? Then please contact me ! It will be my great pleasure to guide you around my home region.

If you are more than 6 people, I will ask friends of mine, IFMGA guides as well, to join us.
Do you need to rent equipment? I can advice on a good place to rent skis, boots and more.

Mountain Guide
I am a certified Mountain Guide since 2009. Being a guide is above all the passion of making you discover the fabulous world of the mountain. Climbing along vertiginous walls, in a ridge between heaven and earth, or walking quietly in a breathtaking landscape.
My main goal is to bring joy to the mountaineers that trust me, to ascend in all safety in a beautiful environment.
I adapt my trips to your level so that you can fully enjoy the journey and learn from it.
I am based in Alsace, at the foot of the Vosges Mountain range. Some of my favourite destinations include Les Vosges and wild areas in Switzerland, but also Crete, Morocco and Scotland.
Besides being a Mountain Guide, I am a Sports teacher at the "Chaume" center in Orbey, where I mainly supervise discovery classes and sports courses offered during school holidays.

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.
