Description
Join me on this guided climb to the Arête des Cosmiques summit and discover the high mountain in this beautiful area!
The Arête des Cosmiques is one of the classic climbs in the Chamonix area. It is the perfect introduction to mixed climbing (snow and rock) but requires some mountaineering experience. The route is rated AD (Assez Difficile/Fairly Hard) but you’ll find the crux is quite hard for its rating. It requires some suitable mixed climbing and also abseiling skills.
As we climb up, we’ll enjoy magnificent views of the Aiguille du Midi and the surrounding peaks. This is one of the main reasons why I like to bring my clients to Arête des Cosmiques.
June to September are the best months to climb this route. However, the route can get really busy during these months so try to avoid weekends.
We will meet in Chamonix and take the Aiguille du Midi-Vallee Blanche Cable to the top. From there, we’ll go down to the Col du Midi and then to the Abri Simond hut, where the route starts. It is possible to reach the summit in the same morning.
If you’ve always dreamed of making it to the top of Arête des Cosmiques, contact me now and we’ll arrange the details together. I can guarantee an unforgettable experience!

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.
