This 1-day hike to Gonella Hut in Val Veny is a demanding adventure for those of you in very good shape and wanting to push their efforts!
The Gonella Hut (3071 m) is located above the Val Veny, close to Courmayeur in the Italian side of the Mont Blanc massif. It’s part of the most popular route to climb the Mont Blanc from Italy. And it lies on the Aiguilles Grises ridge in between the Dôme glacier and the Glacier de Bionnassay. So it’s a place full of mountaineering tradition and history.
To get up to this mountain hut and down on the same day you’ll have to be in very good shape. It’ll be a demanding program for which you’ll meet with one of our guides at 6 am in Courmayeur. From there you’ll take a transfer to the starting point on the Miage glacier.
The hike up will be steep and you’ll be following an easy via ferrata. Once on top, you’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery for a little bit and then start the long way down again!

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.
