Description
If you are looking to take your mountaineering skills a step further, and you’d prefer to learn and experience the mountains along with other women, then I have the perfect course for you!
Bring your friends along and join me on this weekend mountaineering course in Chamonix, only for women, enjoying the special camaraderie of an all female group.
I am an experienced woman guide, passionate about the mountains and love to share this passion with other women. During this weekend, you will learn and improve your skills and techniques for a safe and enjoyable experience in the mountains.
We will meet in the charming and famous alpine town of Chamonix, in France. We will get together on the glacier and learn about crevasse rescue. On rock, we will learn how to place protection points, like friends and pitons. We will go over the basic mountaineering skills and techniques.
You will experience the thrill of climbing and hiking on glaciers in the beautiful mountains around Chamonix, as they will be our classroom for these 2 days. I will make sure you get a solid mountaineering base.
After spending a day out in the mountain, learning and putting our skills into practice, we will spend a night in a mountain refuge. On the next morning, we will enjoy a spectacular sunrise over the mountains and continue with our course.
Women-only courses are an empowering and enriching experience, offering a great environment to learn and to push ourselves out of our comfort zone.
So if you’d like to be part of this unique women-only course, just send me a request! Join me and come enjoy a fantastic experience in the mountains around Chamonix.

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!

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.
