This 7-day crossing of the Dauphiné Alps is the most challenging traverse in the Alps and is for expert ski mountaineers only!
Located in southeastern France, the Dauphiné Alps are a group of mountain ranges west of the main chain. The Massif des Ecrins, the Taillefer range, Belledonne, and also Matheysine are all included in the Dauphiné Alps.
The Dauphiné Alps, also known as the Karakorum of the Alps, are one of its wildest corners. One of this program’s highlights is the opportunity to climb the Neige des Ecrins (4015m), the most famous mountain in the region.
This traverse is for advanced ski mountaineers only. You need to be able to ski on all types of snow conditions and terrain. You can also expect steep ascents and descents and lots of narrow couloirs. Moreover, you’ll find yourself skiing down 40° slopes everyday of the week!
Feel you’re up to the challenge? So don’t hesitate to contact me. I can promise a week full of excitement and adrenaline in the most beautiful setting in the Dauphiné Alps.

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.
