Description

Chamonix is best known around the world for its amazing skiing conditions and mountains, but in Summer it turns in to a rock climbing paradise, and I will guide you on these Summer rock and alpine climbing tours from Chamonix, as we explore the myriad of granite rock faces, nooks and crannies of the massif, and even glaciers, with all providing excellent conditions and sensational views of the countryside.

Chamonix is a large alpine resort area located at the junctions of the borders of France, Switzerland and Italy, containing the highest and one of the most famous mountains in Western Europe, Mont Blanc. Once the snow melts away for Summer, the long alpine granite rocks are exposed, which is why it is now has such a good international reputation for rock climbing.

We begin our trip in the morning in Chamonix, and from there we catch the cable car to either Plan des Aiguille or Aiguille du Midi.

Over the course of the day we will have ample opportunity to climb at many of the magnificent and enjoyable spots, including several glaciers, as we admire the sweeping panoramic views that look out over the tranquil and idyllic alpine landscape.

For those who want to test themselves on more challenging and demanding climbs, we can sleep overnight in one of the many refuges dotted around on both the Italian and French sides.

After a whole day of climbing we will be weary yet satisfied at having had the opportunity to rock and alpine climb in this immensely beautiful part of the world.

Rock and alpine climbing at Chamonix is a truly glorious and memorable experience – book now to take part in the fun!

Mountain Guide

I started my adventure with climbing in the early nineties. Through almost three decades, I have managed to reach hundreds of peaks and climb an uncountable numbers of routes all around the world. In Patagonia I climbed both Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy (and some more), I set up new routes in Karakoram climbing an unconquered peak there. I have enjoyed many climbs in Alaska, the Alps and the Dolomites, both in winter and summer. Still, the Polish Tatras hold a special place in my heart as these are the mountains that carved my climbing attitude and character. Winter is my favourite season there – wilderness and the alpine character of the mountains can deliver unforgettable experiences.

Mountain lovers can find a full variety of different challenges in Tatras – solemn granite peaks, demanding big-walls, interesting mixed-climbing, great off-piste areas and wild valleys waiting for ski touring fans. Although I have travelled the world in search of beautiful goals, I have been constantly coming back to fulfil my mountain passions in Tatras. And I am sure there is still so much more to be discovered there.

As an IFMGA guide and a seasoned climber, I invite you to discover mountains with me. Decades of exploration in that mountains have led me to who I am today – a professional mountain guide ready to share my mountain experience with you in Tatras or any other part of the mountain world.

Whether you want to climb a peak or ridge, ski off-piste or discover new places - I am here to help you make your dream come true. My point as a guide is to get you to safely fulfil your mountain dream. If you don’t have any yet – don’t worry, with my experience and your skills we will definitely find a suitable adventure for you!

I am an IFMGA/IVBV/UIAGM certified mountain guide and a member of Polish Association of High-mountain Guides.

What people are saying about Jakub

Jakub was an excellent guide. I told him of my experience and he chose a perfect route. Demanding but fun and manageable. He also gave me a great history of the route and a wealth of information about the area.

Michael

Jakub was an excellent host and guide. He planned multiple routes each day to allow for any changes within the weather and conditions and provided a plethora of information regarding the Tatras, climbing and Polish culture to make the trip an immersive experience. Given Jakubs extensive climbing experience and as a climber myself, I learned a lot within the 3 days. Whether a complete novice or someone with experience Jakub tailors each trip to your experience and I would highly recommend his guiding services, and personally will be using Jakub to fulfil future climbing goals myself.

Chris

Jakub was absolutely brilliant. It was the first time climbing in the Polish Tatra's as well as in winter. I wanted to get a general idea and orientation of the Tatra mountain range. As a climber, I was very impressed with his guiding abilities, both as a climber as well as his knowledge of the history of the area as well. He organized every aspect of the trip down to the detail while maintaining a very comfortable and casual attitude about the day. His experience and ability as a climber was matched only by his fantastic personality and friendliness. I enjoyed our time and trip and will be looking forward to the next climb this summer!

Alice

We had a fantastic ski touring day with Jakub. The Tatras are fascinating mountains and at the same time a fairly severe environment and we felt comfortable doing this last -and more complicated- climb with the guide. We appreciated the fact that Jakub, besides being a great guide, is a real lover of these mountains and told us many things about this place and its history. We were also very happy with all the support of explore-share that really made all the steps easy. It is an experience that we certainly feel to recommend.
