Description

If you want to enjoy a great via ferrata adventure, come to Haute-Savoie in France and join any of the three routes available. You’ll be able to learn the basics of this great activity and admire great views from the heights!

Via ferratas use different materials such as cables, scales, bars or ziplines to help you climb in the mountains in a safe way.

In this opportunity, I offer three different routes in the Aravis massif, in Haute Savoie. This way, you will be able to choose which is the ideal route for you depending on your preferences and abilities.

Thones Via Ferrata – La Roche a L’Agathe

This is one of the hardest routes in the Alps. The hike up to La Roche a L’Agathe is short, but there’s a long descent. The whole itinerary takes between 3 to 4 hours. This route is 20 minutes from Annecy and has exposed sections. It is perfect for adrenaline fans and very fit people.

La Clusaz via ferrata – Yves Pollet-Villard

This is an intermediate-level route that offers a beautiful mountain scenery on the Borderan cliff. It takes takes between 3 to 4 hours to accomplish the 700 meter route. This via ferrata is equipped with footbridges, cables and ladders.

Grand Bornand via Ferrata – La Tour du Jallouvre

This is the longest (4 to 5 hours) and highest route of the Aravis. This intermediate-level itinerary takes place in Le Grand Bornand and offers fascinating views of the Aravis rage.

Mountain Guide

I have been a high mountain guide since 1990. I am the precursor of canyoning at Annecy. I put on the first bolts in the Montmin canyon, I also equipped the Montmin via ferrata together with two guide friends. During the winter I work in Meribel and in the 3 Vallées area. I also organize many off-piste ski and heliski journeys in the Dolomites, Greenland and Chile in the summer. Don't hesitate to contact me if you wish to organize a mountain trip with a guide. I would be thrilled to take you up there.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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!

Maxine

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.
