Description

This 1-day hike to Gervasutti Bivouac in Val Ferret will take you up to one of the most incredible spots in Europe.

The Gervasutti Bivouac (2835 m) is located just above the Freboudze glacier on a southeast side of the Mont Blanc Massif, in the Italian Val Ferret, close to the border with Switzerland,

This bivouac was first built in 1948 and, after some damage, completely reformed in 1961. Then, 50 years later, the old structure was replaced by a new and totally innovative structure, which ranks among Europe’s most prestigious mountain architectures.

The new hut is a modular chassis that stand on a rocky outcrop with a spectacular view of the surroundings.

But to reach this spectacular place is not an easy task that takes place mostly without any path or visible tracks. That’s why one of our guides can help you guiding you to complete a safe and fun adventure.

We’ll meet early in the morning, at 6 am, and drive up to Lavachey village. From here we’ll start the hike up through a harsh environment without many signals, but that I know very well. The total altitude gain will be of 1200 m to this amazing mountain hut and we’ll have a short break to eat and take pictures before heading back down.

So send me a request to start organizing this 1-day hike to Gervasutti Bivouac in Val Ferret for you!

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.
