Description

Join me on this 8-day off-piste skiing adventure in the Alps! Depending on your wishes, we can start this program anywhere: from Andermatt to Zermatt and from Verbier to Chamonix.

This is just a sample of an 8-day off-piste skiing program in the Alps. Please keep in mind that we can adapt it according to your expectations and skills.

If you choose to start from Chamonix, our meeting point will be Hotel L'Arve, where we will review all the information and check our equipment. On our second day together, we will start our adventure and ski the famous Vallee Blanche. Surrounded by the most fantastic mountains in Europe, the Vallee Blanche is the perfect place to start our 8-day ski touring trip!

During the next few days, we will explore some of the best off-piste terrain in the Alps. We will ski on Rosablanche, in the Swiss Pennine Alps, and the off-piste terrain in Grand Montets, one of the most popular ski resorts in Chamonix. But please make sure you check out the more detailed itinerary below to get a better idea of the amazing 8 days we'll spend together in the Alps.

Our schedule will be flexible. Our main priority is to go where the snow is good! Keep in mind, however, that all participants need to be in excellent physical condition.

So if you are ready for this adventure, just request to book this trip and let's get started! I guarantee an incredible 8 days in some of the most iconic spots in the Alps.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

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.
