Description
The descent of the Vallée Blanche is a mythical route of the Mont Blanc massif. This ski touring trip is your opportunity to explore it under expert guidance. Join me!
A 30-minute cable car will take us to the summit of Aiguille du Midi (3842m). After crossing the famous ridge and putting on our skis, we will still have a long walk surrounded by stunning landscapes. Then we will be ready for a magical off-piste itinerary!
Depending on the snow conditions, your technical level and your wishes, we offer several possible routes:
The Classic White Valley is the longest route but also the most affordable one. It has steep slopes and crevasses that can be challenging.
The True White Valley is a historic route that crosses ice formations, crevasses and small seracs, before joining the Classic White Valley.
The Petit and Grand Envers are routes located on the left bank of the Aiguille du Midi glacier. Steep slopes, crevasses, seracs, and jumps are on the menu!
These different routes may be similar to a red track when conditions are optimal. However, the technical difficulty may increase depending on the conditions of the moment. Sometimes we may have to deal with difficult snow, ice, crust, or bumps. So a very good ski level is needed. Furthermore, the altitude requires a good fitness level!
We can descend down to Chamonix or end at Montenvers station, where we will take the train. It all depends on the snow conditions.
So, if you want to experience one of the most exciting and breathtaking skiing descents in the world, please contact me. Let’s spend an unforgettable ski touring trip in the Vallée Blanche!

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.
