Joined by two satellite summits, the Petit Ruan (2,847m) and the Grand Ruan (3,057m), the Ruan mountain is a majestic peak that only grows more impressive the longer you spend near it.
Throughout this 6 day hiking tour, we will explore the French, Haute-Savoie region and the Swiss, Valais canton. This trek will take you to a variety of fantastic spots. Some examples include the Vallee du Haut-Giffre, the Trient Valley and the district of Saint-Maurice. There will also be some exciting climbs on this trip as well, including a journey to the highest point of the trek, the Cheval-Blanc (2,830m). From the summit of this great peak, you will get to enjoy an unforgettable, panoramic view of the Alps that will let you see as far as the legendary Mont Blanc mountain (4,810m).
We will be staying in different cabins, huts or refuges during this tour. With so many to choose from, you can rest assured that wherever you spend the night will be comfortable and ideal for the rest necessary for the following day’s journey.
This trip will be challenging. So you should have some prior experience and be in good physical condition.
Do you want to see the Alps from both France and Switzerland? Then send me a request, and join me on this sensational 6 day trek around the Ruan mountain.
I can also lead you on a 5 day trek around the Dents du Midi in the Swiss Alps.

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.
