Description

Beyond the many available off-piste descents, the area around Val d’Isère is rich in magnificent back country skiing itineraries only open to the skiers equipped with skins and ski touring gear.

A little effort and a short walk of under an hour already leaves the vast majority of skiers behind, and opens the way to wide virgin slopes for unforgettable mornings of skiing pleasure. Ski touring does not require extraordinary skiing ability nor physical fitness; after some technical coaching on the use of the equipment, the average skier can already enjoy superb touring.

I would be delighted to initiate you to the delights of ski touring, and share the joys of the mountains far from the ski lifts. Bigger children and teenagers welcome !

For the more experienced, we can choose longer day tours, as well as hut-to-hut tours sleeping in refuges. There are many refuges around Val d’Isère (Prariond, Carro, Sevettes, Averole..) from which we can also ski to the Italian valleys of the Val d’Aoste.

I will provide you with all the necessary safety material (airbag, shovel, probe, DVA beeper, harness when on glaciers) and advise you on the suitable ski gear if necessary.

I will take maximum 6 skiers with me in order to maximize the safety of the group. If you would come with more than 6 people, another guide will join us.

One or more days of ski touring in Val d'Isère can be combined with off-piste / freeride skiing days and even heliskiing. Please contact me to discuss your projects and aspirations, and we can define together an ad-hoc program.

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.
