Description

On this 2-day tour, we will enjoy an unforgettable Nature Photography hike in Chamonix, and photograph the gorgeous Mont Blanc range in the best light.

We will set off on a lovely trail that will give us different views of the stunning Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi. We will take our time to find the best light and angles and truly savor the moment. Then, once at the hut, we will look for the ideal spot to capture the sunset with its gleaming pink, purple, and golden lights. But don't let yourself be driven only by the obvious mountains. Shoot for the rock formations and colors too. Then, after dinner, capture the starry Mont Blanc skies as well. It will be a beautiful, calm, and quiet way to observe nature in its prime before setting back to Chamonix the following day, which will also give us options to enjoy and photograph the gorgeous landscape views.

Keep in mind that this is not a strenuous hike, but we will be spending considerable time outside in the mountains. Therefore, you will need to be fit and properly prepared with good hiking boots, and warm clothes.

Enjoy a unique 2-day Nature Photography hike in Chamonix and take memorable experiences as well as beautiful pictures of the Mont Blanc range with you! Contact me today and we will start planning this exciting tour together.

Itinerary

Day 1: Sunset and stars over Mont Blanc

For the first part of the day, we will hike on the route that faces Mont Blanc and Aguille du Midi. We will learn stories about the legendary people that have climbed the impressive mountains of the region.

We will arrive at the refuge before sunset. If you prefer a different location to photograph the sunset, we can look for the perfect spot just a 30-minute hike away. Once the spot is defined, we will set up the gear and wait for the perfect moment. Afterward, we will enjoy dinner at the refuge. At night we will photograph the stars over Mont Blanc. The views are simply spectacular.

Day 2: Return to Chamonix

Breakfast with a view. You have different options to choose from for the descent. We can stay longer at an altitude and take the cable car down, or hike down a beautiful trail to Chamonix. Goodby drinks in town. Looking forward to new friends.

I came to have two mountain qualifications that complement each other, UIMLA Mountain Leader and MBL3 MIAS MTB, after exploring the world and becoming in love with adventure. I love sharing moments either in the mountains, desert, or jungles. The Alps are my home and my training playground and the world is always the calling for the unknown.

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.

Joshua

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.
