Description
Head into the depths of the Mont Blanc massif on a 1-day hike designed specifically for beginners, and witness some of the most spectacular alpine scenery.
As we advance forward on the glacier watch as the clear crystal ice smoothly blends into the blue skies.
The dramatic alpine scenery is a huge reward for such a convenient and simple approach. The thrill of the glacial hike will trigger a deeper passion and appreciation for the high mountains as well as mountaineering.
During the action-packed day you’ll gain all the necessary skills for glacier mountaineering, as well as becoming familiar with the usage of an ice axe, crampons and climbing rope.
Even more, you’ll become accustomed to some of the core safety rules for glacier mountaineering.
The exact location of the hike will depend on the specific physical preparation of the group, which has a minimum number of four participants. We will choose between the Colle del Gigante, the Colle d’Entreves, or a particular spot on the corner of the glacier.
Once we’re on the glacier, we’ll get up close and personal with the vertical granite spires surrounding us, offering incredible alpine views.
Along the way you’ll also get to learn information about the mountain environment, focussing on geology, meteorology and glaciology.
Potential participants don’t need to have any previous mountaineering experience on glaciers. Just an eagerness to learn and a curiosity for the mountains are required.
Get in touch now to reserve your place in the breathtaking alpine scenery for a 1-day glacial hike for beginners on the classic Mont Blanc massif.

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.
