Description

Come with me and enjoy a full day of what I think is the best activity I can offer. And that is ice climbing in Chamonix.

The best word I would use to describe ice climbing is unique. Because that is exactly what it is. While it utilises all of the same skills as rock climbing, ice climbing is completely different. Because unlike the secure, stone surface of a mountain, or ridge, when you are ice climbing, you are scaling a frozen wave of water. However, that is what makes this activity so special. The fact that the surface, like the activity itself, is never the same, and is always different, from one day to the next, or even one hour to the next, depending on the weather conditions.

In Chamonix, there is no shortage of beautiful areas to ice climb. And I will make sure that you get to climb up some of the most incredible ice falls you will ever. Also, all of the equipment needed for the climb will be provided. So all you have to worry about is bringing your excitement and wonder. Qualities I know will be increased ten fold when you see and start climbing the icy surfaces Chamonix has to offer.

So come and enjoy a full day of amazing ice climbing. While also keeping in mind that throughout the day you will have ample opportunity to stop and gaze at the sheer beauty of the French Alps. While scaling a sheet of sheer ice.

I look forward to hearing from you.

And if you are looking for more thrills in the Chamonix area. You can also join me for a day of Via Ferrata on this trip. Where you can admire the legendary Mont Blanc mountain.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
