Description

There are some amazing descents in the Pennine Alps, and the Vincent Pyramid (4,215m) is definitely one of them. And on this full day trip, you will get the chance to go to the summit of the peak before making your way down on a long, thrilling, scenic descent.

The descent you will have the chance to enjoy is over 3000 metres long, so it will take the greater part of the day to do it. But that is the joy because throughout the descent, you will get to admire the scenery, while enjoying the ride.

The trip will begin in either Alagna or Gressoney. From there, we will take the ski lift to an altitude of approximately 3,275 metres. After that, we will take an exciting ski tour up 940 metres through the glaciers of Monte Rosa (4,634m).

Once we reach the summit of the Vincent Pyramid, the options of what to gaze at are limitless. You could stare at the famed Monte Rosa. Or you could contemplate the age of the Lys glacier. Or you could just focus on a few snow touched trees down in the Aosta valley. Whichever highlight you choose to stare at and store in your mind, will be incredible.

After you’ve taken in the sights of the Vincent Pyramid summit, we will then begin the long descent. The route we will take will depend on any avalanche risks, as well as your skill level and preferences. Either way, I can promise that you will enjoy every minute of it.

This mountaineering ski tour and descent of the Vincent Pyramid is a great adventure. And it would be my pleasure to guide you throughout the day long experience. If you are interested, please send me a request.

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.
