Description

This 1-day Ailefroide rock climbing tour will take you up to one of the most beautiful climbing spots in France.

Ailefroide (1515 m) mountain is located in the Ecrins massif, in the High Dauphiné Alps. Together with Pelvoux (3946 m) they form the second biggest French mountaineering area after Chamonix. And among climbers around the world it's a renowned spot for its beautiful natural scenery.

So I'll take you one of its most popular and varied routes: Ecrins Total. This 5c, 250 m route has it all: Compact and quality granite to hold from, hard longs and a beautiful scenery. So we'll start early in the morning to avoid the crowds and you'll discover an amazing spot.

But Ailefroide has 67 routes from 100 up to 500m high, levels 4c/5a up to 6c/7a. So if you're looking for something different, let me know and I'll guide you to it. Just remember to ask for the price, because it varies depending on the route. Plus, the town is a cozy and friendly place to stay a few days, so I can take you to different routes each day.

So please contact me to make this 1-day Ailefroide rock climbing tour happen. And send me all your requests so I can make the proper arrangements.  

And if you'd like to check out some of my other programs, please take a look at my Ice climbing course in the Hautes Alpes or my Mont Blanc ascent, Chamonix Valley.

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.
