Description

Join me for this 5-day ski touring / backcountry skiing trip in the best spots around Chamonix such as Le Brévent, La Flégère, Le Tour, Les Grands Montets and La Vallée Blanche.

Our objective will be to reach the wild places around Chamonix using first the lifts of the different resorts and going then further up using our skins.

Being from Chamonix, I enjoy very much bringing my friends and clients in these places that I know very well, in order to let them discover my secret spots, far from the crowd.

It’s ideal for the ones who don’t know Chamonix very well and who wants to try the different ski places in one trip.

We will come back every evening in Chamonix to have diner and sleep. I will recommend you some accommodations. Lunches will be taken in the wild, up there.

Besides good skiing in untracked snow and in a great alpine atmosphere… you will enjoy spectacular views on some of the most beautiful mountains of the Alps: Mont Blanc range, Les Aiguilles Rouges…

The best period to do this 5-day ski tour is from January till beginning of April, depending on the snow conditions.

I will take up to 6 clients with me. If you would be a larger group, I will ask a friend of mine, IFMGA mountain guide as well, to join us.

If you have less than 5 days, we will adapt the planning accordingly.

Please get in touch with me if you are interested to come with me for this ski program. We can then discuss the details and arrange the trip of you life 😉 For this season, I still have availabilities in March, 7th to 11th and 12th to 16th

Mountain Leader

As a French Canadian, I grew up in the extreme winters of Quebec. It wasn't until I came to Switzerland, 20 years ago as a teacher, that I discovered the high mountains. Since those first steps, my life has taken a dramatic change. Whilst finishing a Masters degree in Adult Education in Geneva, I found myself drawn ever closer to the rock walls and snows of the European Alps.
My extensive adventures around the world include: traversing the Alps on telemarks, experiencing the high altitude of Aconcagua, Denali and Ama Dablam, battling spin drifts in Alaska and exploring the mountainous regions of Peru and Bolivia. This motivated me to pursue my passion as a career. I'm now one of 16 women in France to have made the mountains my home as a professional mountain guide and member of the UIAGM. I'm based in the Chamonix valley. I can point out most summits and tell you a story about a climb I have done or a North Face on which I have shivered on.
Being the proud mum of 2 young children, I have to adapt my mountaineering aspirations. I continue to live in the constant search for perfect balance enabling others to achieve their alpine dreams safely and spending time with my family. Climbing, mountaineering and skiing remain a source of inspiration to me. Whether on rock or ice, in the mountains or sports climbing, I relishe these forms of creative expression. I need daily challenges, the search for a solution to the seemingly impossible.
I love to share this vertical world I'm privileged to live in. My goals are to encourage others to experience the same and to go beyond their own perceived physical and mental limits.

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.

Joshua

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.
