2 Days
Jun - Sep
I designed this 2-day climbing course in Tête Blanche to make you discover mountaineering. Although you don't need previous experience, you do need to be in good physical condition.
Located in the Pennine Alps, at the border between Switzerland and Italy, this mountain is perfect for a first adventure. Conveniently, we meet in Chamonix.
It will be a great weekend to learn the basic mountaineering techniques while ascending a beautiful summit: Tête Blanche (3429 m). From here, the views are incredible!
If you are alone don't hesitate to contact me since I can put together groups.
Does this weekend course sound tempting? Then please contact me and let's make a plan! And if you want a longer course, I also give a 5-day course for beginners in Chamonix.
- Guiding fee
The price does not include the guide´s expenses (accommodation, meals, lift tickets, etc).
We meet at Chamonix at 9AM, then transfer to the Tour cablecar (located at the bottom of the Chamonix valley). Cablecar ascent to the Balme pass (2180 m). Then we continue ascending by foot to the Albert 1 refuge (2700 m). We leave our belongings and in the afternoon we do some training at the Tour glacier.
Duration: 5hs

Today we ascend the Tête Blanche (3429 m). The views over the Aiguille du Tour and Aiguilles Dorées are exceptional. We return by the same route and descend to the Chamonix valley by foot and cablecar.

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.
