Description
Spread across several countries, the Alps are Europe’s most famous and visually spectacular mountain range.
Courmayeur in Italy and Vallee Blanche in France provide some of the best off-piste skiing conditions one could hope for.
We will spend two days exploring off-piste areas in the wonderful Courmayeur region and on the third day we will access Vallee Blanche for some amazing freeriding.
With new cable cars to access the high altitudes, we can set off fresh to discover some new and unspoilt terrain.
This trip is geared towards those comfortable on red slopes and who have previous off-piste experience. You need to have a decent level of fitness to get the most out of these 3 thrilling days.
I operate these trips in small groups, maximum 8 people, so as to assure your safety and generate a great group vibe.
I have been exploring these mountains in every way possible for many years and I know them intimately, I’m excited to share my knowledge with you.
On the first day we will meet at the Courmayeur resort, get our ski passes and organise everything. Then we will hit the slopes and head to Dolonne Canal for some freeriding.
On the second day after meeting for a coffee, we will take the lift to its highest point on the ARP gondola, there are no on-piste sections here! For lunch we will return to the Courmayeur resort and then later head off-piste again to the Youla area.
For our final day we will take the cable car to 3452m where we will enjoy a coffee and acclimitise! Then we have a long descent down Vallee Blanche with photo opportuities and a tasty beer awaiting to reward us at the bottom.
Sign up now if you want to experience this unforgettable trip freeriding in the alps, some of the best off-piste conditions await you along with an experienced guide!
If you only have one day to explore then join me on this great day of freeriding in Valle Blanche where we will escape the crowds and head into nature! If this region is excites you but instead you’d prefer a hike then consider this 2-day ascent of Mont Blanc, the highets peak in the Alps!

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Italy
I like the simple life and I love searching for environments where climbing has a genuine taste.I did various jobs, all interesting but they always lacked something, then a season in Chamonix opened my eyes; I never looked back and I haven’t sat at a desk ever since.
I was born in Parma in 1978, I started climbing at the age of 14; my home is in Verona, but it is much more true to say that I live across the Alps, on the Dolomites for climbing and on Mont Blanc for big climbs and skiing.
I share my time between the Mountain Guide activity and the climbing experiences around the world.
One of the best starting points for each experience is enthusiasm and curiosity that I seek and refine every time I climb a mountain. I love the technical gesture of climbing, the feeling of freedom and the opportunity to travel, learning about different cultures and different ways of thinking.
Ice picks and crampons are my mates up in the mountains. I have a soft spot for the ways that fight tooth and nail, when you leave your watch home because the stars will tell you when it is time to open your sleeping bag and the frost in the morning will tell you when it is time to start moving again.
To me, the snow is like gold, it makes me happy and carefree. For this reason during winter I spend much of my time on skis in pursuit of thrills: speed, fresh snow under your skis and a surfing wave in my mind.
The best part of my job ... definitely helping people to spend their time outdoors with quality and satisfaction.

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.
