Description

Zermatt is situated in the German-speaking region of the canton of Valais, in southwestern Switzerland. With an elevation of 1,620m and and many north facing slopes, it offers huge areas of powder snow. In this outing I want to take you there for an unforgettable freeride ski experience.

As a ski destination, Zermatt has the longest winter season in the Alps, with excellent snow conditions from late November to the end of April. Visitors from all over the world come to visit this famous ski resort surrounded by many four-thousanders such as Matterhorn (4,478 m).

You can choose the area you prefer to ski on. We can go to Sunnegga, Gornergrat, Klein Matterhorn or Cervinia. And according to your wishes and your ski level, we will create the best itinerary for you. Maybe you prefer short turns and admiring your tracks at next stop, or you just want to fly down the mountain. Either way, I guarantee wide endless powder slopes in a fabulous alpine landscape.

The highest cable-car of Zermatt leads to Klein Matterhorn (3,883 m), a huge peak with panoramic views in all directions. We can also take the highest open-air railway in Europe, that runs all the way up to the Gornergrat’s summit (3,089 m). But real fun will be away from the official slopes, so expect to put many miles of off-piste powder under your skis!

So, if you want to ski on a large field of untouched snow, contact me for this day tour in Zermatt. I’ll be happy to guide you to its best off-piste secrets!

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.
