Description

The Blanc glacier is the largest glacier in the Ecrins massif. The glacier begins at the Barre des Ecrins and ends 2300 meters below. It is a way of access to many well known summits in the area. In fact, I propose here to explore one (or more!) of them.

There are many easy summits around the Blanc glacier, but also at some wild valleys. Some of the possible ascents (although there are many others) are:

– The Roche Faurio (3730m) is a beautiful initiation program. Besides, the views over the Barre des Ecrins are marvellous. I can guide up to 3 people there.

– The Agneaux (3664m) is an easy but varied route, combining glacier and rock climbing. The maximum clients for this trip is 2.

– The Dôme de Monêtier (3478m) is indeed a magnificent glaciar ascent, and I can take up to 4 people.

Finally, the Pelvoux Traverse (3943m) is a beautiful program on an emblematic summit of the massif. I can guide up to 2 people up there.

Please note that if you have never used crampons, it's possible to do an ice school before. In this way you will be ready to tackle the ascents.

Is this what you were looking for in the beautiful Ecrins massif? Then please send me a request specifying which ascent do you want to try. And if you want to check other mountaineering options that I offer, here is a climbing expedition to the Argentera massif.

Mountain Guide

Hi! My name is Fabien Artero, I have been a mountain leader since 2008 and mountain guide since 2014. I discovered my passion for the mountains by spending time during my youth at the Valle Argentina in Italy, in the Ligurian Alps.

I slowly discovered activities that allowed me to travel the valley along the seasons...

The mountain is a large playground. We have to play according to its mood, mountain conditions, weather and finally choose the itinerary... Which renders these activities complex and exciting.

These activities allow us to discover the valleys, massifs, the countries and people living in them. Altogether is makes for an enriching mixture from any point of view.

I wanted this to become my profession because, of the mountains, human contact and the practice of exciting activities.

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.
