Join me on these Alpi Trail tours to some of the most famous summits in the Chamonix area. Light mountaineering equipment will allow us to reach the top of some of the most renowned peaks in the area in record time!
You can choose between Aiguille du Tour, Le Buet, Les Balcons de la Mer de Glace, etc. in the Chamonix area or Gran Paradiso in Italy. And if you had any other peak in mind, don't hesitate to ask as I may be able to accommodate your wishes.
Take into account, however, that these fast and light mountaineering tours are reserved for people with an excellent physical condition and some experience in ultra-trail, triathlon or raid adventure. Some experience walking with crampons is also required. Climbing to these summits in Alpi Trail mode is extremely demanding and shouldn't be taken lightly!
I have received extensive training in trail mindfulness and will be happy to share my knowledge with you. The techniques I will teach you will probably change the way you run. You will never look back!
Request to book this trip, tell me about your objectives and join me on these amazing Alpi Trail tours in the Chamonix area from May to November. You can book me for one or several days. We'll put together a program tailored to your goals and expectations!
I also offer trail running guided tours in the Chamonix area. Check them out!

Mountain Guide
A mountain guide for the last 20 years, I’m also a ski instructor, a mental coach, a trainer and a lecturer. Apart from climbing many summits in France, Switzerland, Italy, Ecuador and Africa, I’m the founder of Eco Mt Blanc (Mt Blanc ascent in less than 24 hours without using lifts and without spending the night in a hut). I’m also a “finisher” of many ultra-trail races, including the Tor Des Géants (330km and 24000 D+) in 132 hours.
For 6 years now, I’ve just been running for pleasure and greatly enjoy preparing runners, both technically and mentally, who seek to get started on long-distance races.

• IFMGA-certified mountain guide
• Founder of the Kariboo-Adventure agency

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.
