Description

I want you to see something that you will constantly recall with a smile for the rest of your life. I want you to see and climb the Arete des Cosmiques in the French Alps.

The Arete des Cosmiques looks like it was designed by an expert sculptor or painter. Even the rock formations have an artistic appeal. I believe even if there was nothing else around this amazing peak. If it stood isolated, entirely on its own, it would still be more than worth it to climb. However, when you surround it by the Chamonix's finest scenery. And also place it in a position that offers the best views of the incredible Mont Blanc Massif. You have a chance to see something incredible. Thus making this one-day trip more than worthy of the word, unforgettable.

Starting at the magnificent Aiguille du Midi, we will begin our ascent by taking one of the most revered alpine routes in the Alps. And throughout the day, you will trek through snow, ice, and rock while breathing in crisp air and marvelling at the jagged powder topped peaks looming above you in all directions. The trek itself is not too difficult, so you don't have to worry about whether or not you can do it. As long as you have some prior climbing experience, you will be fine. As there are only a few difficult spots, and even those areas do little to reduce the enjoyment. Instead, they only add to the joy of the experience.

This trip will certainly leave you breathless. And will offer you the kind of views and subsequent memories that are truly priceless.

I look forward to your message.

And if you want to see more of the Chamonix area, you can also join me for a guided climb of the Aiguille de Toule on this trip.

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.

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.
