Description

If you've never tried glacier hiking before, this is your chance to fall in love with this amazing activity!

Glacier hiking involves progressing on a glacier using special equipment. With this 1-day tour at Dome de la Lauze, you'll learn how to walk with crampons, how to use an ice-axe and you'll practice basic glacier progression techniques.

Roped and in complete safety, you'll even get to approach crevasses and we'll cover security basics. Your eyes won't believe what they see!

We'll leave from the La Grave cable car and, from there, traverse the magnificent Glacier de la Girose. Take in the beautiful scenery while hiking on this amazing ice desert: it will be an experience you will never forget!

The Glacier de la Girose is one of the most visited glaciers in the Alps and is very popular among summer skiers. It is part of the Les 2 Alpes ski resort.

This activity is available to most people as no special skills are required. However, you do need to be in a fairly good physical condition. Dare join me on this incredible activity. I promise you won't regret it!

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.
