This is your chance to ski on some of the most imposing peaks in the Lepontine Alps!
Val Formazza is located to the north of Piedmont, Italy. This small alpine valley is surrounded by huge mountains, such as Blinnenhorn (3,374 m), Basodino (3,273 m), Punta d’Arbola (3,235 m) and Punta del Sabbione (3,182 m). At these heights, snow is guaranteed during the whole winter!
We offer you an amazing ski touring trip around this area under expert guidance. We will get away from the crowds to climb some of the best-kept secrets in the Lepontine Alps. Powder snow and incredible views of breathtaking cliffs, enormous glaciers and mirrored waters are waiting for you.
The Walser people have lived in this region for centuries, raising their livestock and working the land despite the cold weather. In Val Formazza, the Walser culture is still alive in the buildings and in some of the words used to name places.
Nowadays, Val Formazza is a charming tourist destination with a good variety of hotels and restaurants. Whether for a long holiday or just for a day, this will be an unforgettable trip for you.
So, if you are ready to live a spectacular ski adventure, please contact me to book this trip. I’ll be glad to you around these stunning mountains.

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.
