Description

Would you like to join an exciting mountaineering program in the French Alps? Then join me on this 2-day Dôme de Neige des Écrins ascent!

The Dôme de Neige des Écrins is located in the Dauphine Alps between the departments of Isère and Hautes-Alpes. This stunning peak, which rises to an altitude of 4015 m (13172 ft), features la Barre (more difficult) on the left and the Dome on the right.

On this exciting 2-day program, we will set off from the Pre de Madame Carle and then go up to the Refuge des Ecrins where we will stay the night. On the second day, we will try to climb to the top and return to the valley.

Keep in mind that this ascent will require us to tackle crevasses, seracs, and a vertical drop. Therefore, we will need adequate training. Additionally, we will walk 4 hours to reach the hut on the first day and encounter 900 meters of vertical drop on the second day. Consequently, a good fitness level is a must. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way.

So, are you ready for an exciting ascent of the Dôme de Neige des Écrins in the French Alps? Then book your place and join me, I will be happy to guide you!

You can also join me on a 2-day Monviso ascent from Paesana!

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.
