Description

I would like to invite you to this ski touring day in Cerro Vespignani (2146 m). It is a really wonderful mountain for snowboarding and skiing. I have no doubt that you'll love this place!

The Cerro Vespignani involves an ascent of about 1,500 meters. Leaving form El Chaltén we'll have a one-hour ride to the parking lot next to the southern headland of the Lago del Desierto. From there, there is another one-hour walk to the Huemul Glacier's base.

When we're at the foot of the glacier we'll have put the skins on. After that it will be time to use harnesses and ropes and cross the glacier to get to the Vespignani summit.

Once at the top of the mountain we will have the most impressive view of the Mount Fitz Roy and the Patagonian Ice Field. After taking pictures and admiring such a landscape, we'll begin our descent with the skis to the base. It will be a vertical fall of about 1500 meters!

The best months to enjoy this ski touring day are from June to November. This period offers the best quality snow. The rest of the year we can ascend Cerro Vespignani using crampons or snowshoes.

I also offer many other similar ski tours in the area, like this full day program in Loma del Diablo. If you wish you can take a look at it.

So get in touch with me if you want to ski on the exciting slopes of the Cerro Vespignani. It'll be my pleasure to be your guide.

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide from Argentina

Based in El Chaltén, south Patagonia, since 2000. I was the first guide to complete the AAGM (Argentine Mountain Guides Association) complete training platform.

I did the first Argentinean guided ascent of Mt. Fitz Roy via Supercolouir route (la Supercanaleta). I have guided Aguja Guillaumet more than 25 times. I also guided Aconcagua, Alpamayo (Peru), Matterhorn (Switzerland), Mont Blanc, Dent du Geant (France), The Rockies & The Bugaboos (Canada), Torres del Paine (Chile), among others.

I am also member of El Chaltén Search and Rescue team. I have several WFR certificates with different schools such as NOLS & Fundacion Ecomed.

I speak Spanish, English and French fluently

My biggest passion is Alpine Rock climbing & Ski Mountaineering. Get in touch with me if you are interested in discovering the unique spots in the Fitz Roy massif, and other gems around El Chaltén! I work together with a group of guides, so if I'm not available when requested, 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.
