Alpes
4 Days
Jan - Apr, Dec
Discover the Vanoise National Park during this fun and rewarding 4-day ski touring trip. Located between the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys, this French National Park is a beautiful part of the Alps.
During the trip, we will traverse amazing glaciers. We will also go to two main summits: the Méan Martin peak (3330 m) and the Sana peak (3436 m). The panorama over the Alps is exceptional! Besides, we will sleep in comfortable refuges.
I try to help each participant in particular improve their ski touring skills, so that everyone takes advantage of the trip. You need to be in good physical shape and to have ski touring experience (at least 3-4 previous trips).
During this trip we will cover how to:
– Progress ski touring;
– Assess and manage the related risks;
– Use the AVD, probe and shovel.
Note that you can register alone and I will put a group together. And if you come as a group contact me to check special prices.

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.
