Description
Follow me for an incredible adventure ascending Western Europe’s highest peak and paragliding down on the way back. During the 7 days of this tour, we’ll enjoy paralpinism in Mont Blanc and its surroundings.
We’ll meet at Chamonix and begin this unforgettable adventure. In order to make the most of the ascent, I’ve planned some acclimatization climbs to Tête Blanche (3,429 m) and Aiguille du Tour (3,542 m). You can review the itinerary below for a more detailed description of what we’ll be doing each day. Nonetheless, the itinerary may change depending on weather conditions. Also, if you are too tired or would prefer to descend through the glaciers, the paragliding portion of the trip can be altered.
This trip is for participants with experience in mountaineering that know how to use crampons and an ice axe, particularly for those that have already done some previous mountaineering course. Additionally, it is also necessary that participants be in a good physical condition since we’ll be covering long distances every day.
Book your trip now and discover this dazzling iconic mountain in the French Alps like never before.
I also offer a paralpinism adventure in Sierra de Guadarrama, Spain. Be sure to check it out!

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!

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.
