Description
When it comes to off-piste snowboarding in the Alps, few places are as fun, and popular, as the Mont Blanc massif.
Located in the countries of Italy and France, and even touching Switzerland, the Mont Blanc massif is an extraordinary collection of peaks. The massif is a wonder to look at and is even more amazing to snowboard on. However, it is important to exercise proper technique when off-piste snowboarding on mountainous terrain. With that said, I am happy to offer a week long course that will help you refine those techniques. It will also teach you some new ones as well.
A lot of the lessons you will learn during this course will take place on the slopes of the Mont Blanc massif. As a result, you will get to immediately put what you have learned into practice. And you will get to do so on the type of terrain where it is most relevant, and useful.
Moreover, during this course you will get the chance to see, explore and enjoy some of the Mont Blanc massif’s best and most beautiful spots. Some examples include the Grant Montets skiing area, La Thuile, Vallee Blanche and La Rosiere. You will also get to visit the wonderful towns of Courmayeur and Chamonix, which is home to the Argentiere glacier and Brevent-Flegere.
For a full week, I would like to give you the chance to enjoy a magnificent mountain range. I also want to give you the chance to learn how to enjoy it properly. So send me a request, come to Mont Blanc, and experience 7 days of great off-piste snowboarding.
I also offer a 5 day splitboarding course in the stunning Aosta valley as well.

Mountain Guide
I was born in 1966. I was an aspirant Mountain Guide from 1986 and a Mountain Guide (IFMGA) as from 1989. In 1988, I joined the Mountain Guides company of Courmayeur, which was the 1st Italian guiding company and the 2nd in the world in 1850. From 1995 to 2001, I had the role of leading guide with as main function the coordination of the work and the promotion of the guiding programs we were organising.
From 1986, I worked in the Mountain Rescue Team of the Aosta Valley. I became a Mountain Rescue Instructor in 2000. As a mountain guide, I practice a lot mountaineering, rock climbing, off-piste skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, etc.
The past 22 years, I have climbed with my clients many classic routes in the Alps, of mixed, ice and rock; I have climbed the mountains of South America (Aconcagua in Argentina, Cordillera Blanca in Peru, trekking in Torres del Paine in Chile and Fitz Roy in Argentina, the slopes of Alpamayo Pequeno, Sajama, Huayna Potosi, in Illimani Bolivia, Cayambe, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo in Ecuador). Each year, I keep on travelling the Andes with clients and friends to discover new mountains to satisfy the desire of mountaineering.

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.
