Description

Ready to live an amazing adventure in a breathtaking scenery? Then join me on this 2-day Cerro Madsen guided off piste snowboarding tour.

While Cerro Madsen is one of the busiest places to visit in summer, it’s quiet different in winter. The trails, the surroundings, its slopes and its summit are painted white by snow and invite you to live an uncrowded snowboarding experience.

This 2-day program will start and finish at El Chaltén, from where we’ll drive to our trail head in El Pilar Farm. Once there we’ll start our hike up to Poincenot Camp,to set up our base camp, and continue to hike and use our skins to reach the point from where we’ll enjoy an amazing ride down**.** 

We’ll spend the night at our camp and go for another run the next day.

This trip will allow you to experience unique untracked slopes but it will also amazed you with incredible views of the Mount Fitz Roy and its surroundings.

Remember that to join this tour you must be an advanced snowboarder and be physically prepared. It’s a very demanding adventure!

If you feel you’re up to the task, send your request and book. I’ll take you on an unbelievable trip!

Mountain Guide

Certified UIAGM-IFMGA Mountain Guide from Argentina.

I live in El Chaltén since 1998. I'm originally from Bariloche and I started with mountain activities when I was 15 years old. I've done climbing and ascents in many mountains of Patagonia, Perú, Bolivia, United States and Europe; such as Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Alpamayo, El Capitán, Mont Blanc and Aconcagua among others. I'm also a Ski Instructor and I am passionate for backcountry ski.

I speak fluent English, Italian and French and have been leading trips and expeditions for more than 20 years. I work together with a group of guides, so if I'm not available for the trip you request, one of my colleagues will guide you!

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.
