Description

Ski touring in the Mercantour National Park. In the southernmost Alps, where the mountain meets the Mediterranean sea, there is the Mercantour Massif …

Only a few kilometers from the Côte d’Azur, this massif is a paradise for lovers of mountain hiking and ski touring.

The view of the Mediterranean Sea and even Corsica from almost every summit renders each outing exotic and unique, without detracting the alpine character of these mountains that require a good command of skiing.

The Mercantour is often one of the most snowy mountains of France, which promises beautiful moments of skiing!

Refuges are nice, and the guardians really love the massif and add value through their cuisine.

Throughout the trip, we’ll move between 1500 and 3000 meters in the heart of the massif. We will have the opportunity to ski two of the highest peaks of Mercantour: the Gélas (3143 m) and Mont Clapier (3045 m).

This ski tour will delight you with its alpine environment and out of the ordinary character, with amazing views of the sea …

Christophe

Mountain Leader

I have followed the arts trail but I have also climbed hard and my passion for the mountain has always led my steps. I grew up in the south, country with generous limestone walls, before I moved to Ecrins. Familiar with the major routes and demanding walls, climbing instructor before being guide, I have to communicate how essential it became in my life…
The mountain is for me and my friend guide Lionel, a sharing space where the difficulty is not the object, but it’s where we can offer the luxury and curiosity of the beautiful things, simple and useless…
Come on, shall we make our bags?

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.
