About the guide

Quentin

Mountain Guide

Like most Mountains Guides and outdoors addicts, I'm not from the mountains, but from the North East of France where fog and mud are more common. Since my childhood, I dreamed of climbing, mountaineering, and skiing. My life has been driven by playing in the natural environment, discovering what's out there, and traveling.

After graduation as a sports teacher, I moved to the Alps and graduated as a ski patrol and trekking leader mtb guide. These professional activities brought me a strong knowledge of the snow/alpine environment and allowed me to discover European mountains and trails with groups of clients. My time off was dedicated to rock climbing and mountaineering.

A few years later the natural evolution has been to take the UIAGM/ IFMGA mountain guide qualification, to get more technical knowledge, and the ability to bring people to discover mountains higher and further.

I'm now based in Morzine, a quiet mountain village 1 hour from Chamonix, where I spend wintertime working for the ski patrol and also as a ski guide (off-piste skiing and ski touring) with a slice of ice climbing, and summers as a full-time mountain guide, from canyoning to mountaineering ascents. Spring and fall time are for traveling (Norway & Iceland are awesome for spring skiing, Jordan is great for rock climbing late October.

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.

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.
