Description

I invite you to discover the world of mountaineering in the space of two unforgettable and magical days, with a gentle climb to the Aiguille du Tour (3544m), in the Mont Blanc Massif.

The Aiguille du Tour is a sharp needle peak, located on the border between France and Switzerland.  It is one of the easiest summits to reach in Mont Blanc via its normal route, graded F (easy). Actually, it is a great first 3000-meter ascent to venture yourself into mountaineering!

Our tour departs from the little village of Le Tour in France (1450m), near Chamonix. From the ski lifts of the ski area, we begin our climb to the comfortable Albert Premier Refuge (2702m), where we will enjoy a beautiful sunset and spend the night. In the afternoon, we will have some practice on the glacier.

Next morning, we will enjoy a spectacular sunrise from the hut, and the firts sunlight on the stunning high peaks around us.  We will then begin our ascent to the Aiguille du Tour summit. From the top, you will be amazed by a breathtaking 360º view of the entire Mont Blanc massif and other mythical mountains of the Alps.

Don’t hesitate to send me a request if you want to join me on this Aiguille du Tour ascent! Book your trip and reach the summit of a great peak in the Mont Blanc massif.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
