Description
Explore the iconic Haute Route across the three Alpine countries: Switzerland, Italy and France. Try a new holiday destination and enjoy these exciting and beautiful ski slopes.
As for the itinerary we’ll meet at Zermatt. From there, we’ll descend and climb up to the Schönbielhütte at 3.694 meters. That evening, we’ll relax with views from the Matterhorn.
Day 2 will be spent climbing the magnificent Tête blanche glacier at 3.724 meters. We’ll then descend to Arolla and spend the night in a hotel. The following day, we’ll take a lift to climb over the Pas de Chèvres (2.855m) towards the Cab des Dix (2.928m). We can even climb the la Luette (3.548m) if the group is interested.
On the fourth day, we’ll climb the Glacier du Cheillon to the Col de la Serpentine (3.542m). The descents from there are unforgettable! On day 5, we’ll climb over the Fenêtre Durand (2.797m) and savor a long descent into the Valpelline. On our last day, we’ll relish in glacier summits and fascinating descents into Chamonix.
This trip implies 5-6 hours of ascents per day and, most days, we’ll need to take a backpack with us. So be sure to have a strong fitness condition.

Mountain Guide
As a child, I spent my summer in the Alps and that is where my passion for the mountains was born. I became a certified mountain guide in the year 2000. I specialize in rock climbing, skiing and snowboarding. For me, it is a great pleasure to share my knowledge of the mountains with my clients and to help them improve. During my free time, I like to go hiking and snowboarding with my wife and my 3 children.

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.
