Description

Come with me to enjoy a thrilling ice climbing adventure! This fun and exciting activity is perfect for lovers of rock climbing that don’t want to let the winter ruin their time outdoors. And the Chamonix Valley, France is a true paradise for all outdoor activities.

The Chamonix Valley is full of waterfalls that turn into stunning ice climbing spots during the winter. Especially the area close to Cogne Valley, Italy, a true waterfall Mecca. There’s tons of options to choose from for all ice climbing levels, and a variety of forms including columns, bosses, jellyfish, curtains, and free-standing. And, if you decide to stay for more than one day, there are many waterfalls to discover each day.

Ice climbing is an exciting sport but it needs to be taken seriously. It is very important that you follow the correct safety measures. Ice climbing is also my specialty and favorite sport. I’ll make sure to assess the safety of the places we choose before the trip and guide you on the way. 

Send your request and let me organize this wonderful trip just for you! Depending on your goals, skills and time available, I’ll make sure to plan the best itinerary possible.

For more adventures in the French Alps, follow me for a one-day rock climbing tour in Les Perrons or a 2-day mountaineering trip in Aiguille du Tour.

Mountain Guide

I started mountaineering at 16 in the Mont Blanc Massif. I immediately loved the diversity of mountain sports: ice, snow, rock, the fact that activities change every season and we must aim for perpetual adaptation. It is the human emotions experienced up there that make me want to progress. 

After 4 years of competition in ice climbing, I joined the French national mountaineering group. Expeditions in the Dolomites, Norway, and Alaska are a great opportunity to travel and excel in a strong group. 

I'm 24 years old and live in Annecy (Haute Savoie), close to the Mont Blanc Massif. I a certified IFMGA mountain guide and it will be my pleasure to share with you my experience on the Aravis' limestone or the snowy slopes of Mont Blanc.

Beyond the classic excursions and the satisfaction of reaching a summit, I would like you to discover the warmth of a sunrise or the joy of a celebratory hug.

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.
