Description

Take a week out of your schedule to peruse the incomparable Alpine countryside of Switzerland and head to Leysin for a week of snowshoeing! This guided program allows you to experience a winter in the Alps while enjoying a fascinating week in the heart of the pride and joy of Switzerland!

Nothing says ‘Winter Wonderland’ quite like a trip to the Alps. At the center of Europe, both geographically and metaphorically, the majestic mountains appeal to almost every single tourist across the world. And smack dab in the middle of this regal range is Switzerland, a country that epitomizes high-altitude adventure. So what better way to experience this world-class winter destination than by taking a guided snowshoeing tour in Leysin and the Swiss Alps!

With a week to appreciate the ins and outs of an iconic land mass, you will enjoy the Swiss Alps in a unique and fulfilling way. Our snowshoeing courses will lead you far from the crowds and into the compelling nooks and crannies of its alluring snowscapes. Based out of Leysin in Switzerland (near Lake Geneva to the northwest and Chamonix, France, to the southwest), you will have access to enchanting scenery at every step of the way.

I have extensive experience in the region and love sharing my knowledge with others. After a week on our program, you will feel like a local and be prepared for your next snowshoeing excursion as soon as possible. I will ensure you have a safe and unforgettable experience on a personal program that is catered to you. Let me know what you are interested in and we can craft a snowshoeing trip around your needs.

If you have schedule restrictions or needed a shorter trip that still encapsulates the magic of the Alps, I can also offer snowshoe short breaks, guiding you on up to five days of snowshoeing with up to six nights at a bed and breakfast. The choice is yours, so let’s design the dream snowshoe vacation just for you.

You should have a general level of fitness to participate in this program. No previous experience is necessary, only a passion for the Alps and a willingness to experience the stunning region!

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.
