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.

Roberto “Rouge” Rossi, born on 24/02/1976 in Turin, forms the Mountain Passion guide team with Riccardo Olliveri.
I graduated in Biology, and I'm a Mountain Guide since 2003, and Guide Instructor since 2007.
I'm enthusiastic for all that is mountains and verticality, practice 360-degree mountaineering, with a large number of climbs along the entire Western Alpine arc where I've made all kinds of climbs and on all terrains, with a predilection for Mont Blanc. However, I did not neglect the extra-European mountains by making extra-European and European trips and expeditions including Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia, Himalaya, Pakistan, Morocco, Kenya, Norway, Spain, Japan, Canada, USA.
I now divide my days between Cervinia and Chamonix, and I'm a great lover of high mountain climbing and steep skiing, among which the descents of the North of Lyskamm, of the East and of the South of Monte Rosa, of the North of Aiguille du Midi along different itineraries and east of the Matterhorn. I'm also a trainer for work at height with access and positioning systems using ropes and for third category fall protection PPE.
I collaborate with specialized magazines in the sector (ALP, Planetmountain) and am a consultant for Montura, Scarpa, ATK, Kæstle, Edelweiss, ARVA, BLUE ICE.

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.
