Ski down the best powder and the most varied terrain in the Chartreuse mountains with IFMGA-certified mountain guide Olivier.

Alpes

+1 Day

Jan - Apr, Dec

Description

Come explore the wild Chartreuse mountains with this great ski touring program! You'll enjoy the most amazing powder in completely off-the-beaten-track terrain.

The Chartreuse is one of the French massifs that receives the most annual rainfall. The winter is quite cold here, so rain turns into snow and transforms this area into a magnificent powder reservoir!

There are some very interesting itineraries to explore in the area. Many of them offer great landscape and ski variety and will make you feel like if you were lost in the middle of nowhere. So crowds will feel ages away! Ski down fun forests and make turns on amazing open slopes. The Chartreuse offers the widest variety to satisfy everyone!

Depending on your availability, we can go for a 1-day or a multi-day program. Therefore, contact me with any questions you may have and we'll put together a program that is right for you.

Furthermore, if you'd like to check out some of my other programs, you can take a look at my 4-day ski touring program in the Queyras!

Come enjoy an exciting powder day in the Chartreuse! I can pick you up at the Grenoble train station if it works for you. So don't hesitate to contact me, even at the last minute.

I have always loved just being outside, taking my time to be there and observe, to grasp the instants of simple and essential happiness.
In 2006, my thirst for large spaces led me for a year to a corner of the world which sings mystery and breathes history: the Kerguelen islands. As a scientist, I discovered there a greatly wild universe. I had the chance to live in the rhythm of an overflowing Nature, observing throughout the day the relentless progress of the life cycle of many animal and vegetal species in the island. A big human adventure that has forged ties of strong friendships. Mocking the passing time and the usual flow of activity. As a visitor I took with me warm and beautiful memories of these desolated islands.
Returning, I finished my engineering studies and I started a PhD. This period was marked in parallel by an intense mountain practice and by some rough travels (India, Madagascar, crossing the Alps by bike...).
I have always loved making my friends discover this mountain universe, and each time it's an immense happiness to share these moments. The mountain often arouses big and beautiful emotions, a mixture of awe and wonder that result sometimes in the birth of true passions. Currently organised between science and the mountain, I hope to continue with you this beautiful sharing through my guide profession.
Feet on the ground and head in the stars... Or the other way around?

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.
