Description

Skiing in the Alps of France is something that puts a smile on any skier’s face. And on this half-day trip, I would like to take you off-piste skiing in the beautiful Grand Brianconnais area of the Haute-Alpes department.

Full of blue sky and sunshine, yet also filled with an abundance of snow in the winter, the Grand Brianconnais is a great place for skiing. There are several wonderful places you can choose from on this off-piste skiing trip. Some examples include the following.

Serre Chevalier
Montgenevre
Vars
Puy Saint Vincent
Queyras

Each one of these wonderful areas is unique in the skiing experience it offers. For example, Montgenevre has the famed milky way, which includes Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx, San Sicario, Cesana, and Torinese. Meanwhile, Serre Chevalier, also known as the pearl of the Alps, was the Luc Alphand station winner of the Alpine Ski World Cup in 1997.

With such a rich reputation, the ski areas throughout the Grand Brianconnais are well worth a visit. And on this off-piste skiing trip, based on your skill level, weather and snow conditions, we will find the perfect spot for you! And because of the wide variety, there are routes that require absolutely no prior off-piste experience. However, you should be in good physical condition to participate.

Do you want to enjoy approximately 3 hours of great off-piste skiing in a beautiful area? Then join me at the Grand Brianconnais. Let’s together choose the best area for you, so you can have an unforgettable time. To get started, all you have to do is send me a request.

Would you like to enjoy more winter season adventures in the Haute-Alpes? Then come and join me for a day of exciting ice climbing!

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
