Located in the border area between Switzerland and Italy, Monte Rosa is a glaciated massif from the Alps that has several peaks above 4000 meters in altitude. The Breithorn is one of them and also a popular mountain group to enjoy different winter activities.
As for the first day of this adventure we will ascend the western summit of Breithorn. With 4,165 meters above sea level, this is the highest point in the mountain group.
On day 2, we’ll have the chance to have some great splitboarding time down the Porta Nera Glacier, a col from the north side of the Breithorn. We may even have the possibility to visit Zermatt, a little village and an important ski resort situated in Switzerland.
Our accommodation for this trip will be the Rifugio Guide del Cervino (3,480 m). The hut is located at Plateau Rosa, a glacier from the Swiss region of Valais.
Participants must have prior splitboarding or skiing experience. You also should have a good physical condition.

Mountain Guide
I am a young Italian UIAGM - UVGAM guide and I live the mountain in all its aspects.
I love being in the mountains during every period of the year and I think each season is special and give us the possibility to discover a different side of the mountain: freeride skiing and ice climbing in winter, ski touring and ice/mixed routes in spring, rock climbing and trekking/alpinism in summer and autumn. Each experience lived in the mountain is unique and for me it is a real pleasure to help and assist people living something that sometimes is almost like a dream.
I speak fluently Italian, English, French and Spanish.
I live in Valtournenche, in the Matterhorn valley, and work with a well consolidated group of UIAGM mountain guides, so we can provide the professional support needed even in case of big groups of people: by contacting me you will always find a solution for your trip in the mountains!

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.
