Join me for a one or several days of hiking in the heart of the beautiful National Park of Mercantour, around Lac Nègre and Lac Graveirette, in Haute Tinée, close to the border with Italy.
It’s a very varied hike partially far from the beaten tracks. It is accessible for every person who practices regularly a physical activity.
The walking time is of 5 hours on average (per day), with 400 meters of positive height.
I can adapt the itinerary based on the level of the group and the wishes. We can for example organise a tour where we see more lakes.
Lac Nègre is one of the largest lakes of the Mercantour Park, in a glacier and granite environment.
Lac Graveirette provides a very Canadian atmosphere at the border with a forest.
We should see many animals, mainly marmots and chamois.
The National Park of Mercantour contains large and wild forests into which the wolfs have returned after many years.
If you plan to come in the region, please feel free to contact me so that we can discuss about a nice hiking tour that I will organise for you. It will be my pleasure to guide you around and let you discover my secret spots.

My passion is hiking and it has been since I was a child. I am a Mountain Leader, ready to make you gain altitude!
My goal is to live adventures in a wild nature. And there are as many possibilities as varied landscapes and seasons!
Always looking for new spaces, privileged and authentic moments, a preserved and wild nature... It's above all about plenitude and contemplation, trying each time to understand the beauty of the sceneries.
I am a former lawyer, also ski patroller specialized in nivology and meteorology. I cross the massif ski touring during the winter for my own pleasure.

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.
