Description

If you are looking to get into the world of via ferrata, then this is the trip for you! With beautiful views and easy routes, Col du Chat, France is the perfect setting for via ferrata beginners. Join me for a wonderful morning or afternoon.

Col du Chat is located near Chamonix, the mecca for outdoor activities in the French Alps. One of the perks of this spot is that the Mediterranean vegetation provides a comfortable microclimate year-round, perfect for outdoor activities.

On this occasion, we’ll use the Primrose Bear Ear Track, which is located on  Roc du Cornillon. The route takes 3 hours to complete and is 250 meters long. The starting point has an 820-meter altitude. The first part offers a breathtaking view of France’s most beautiful lake: Lake Bourget. Then, we’ll descend through an inverted ladder and a tunnel to reach the other side of the mountain, which will take us to a monkey bridge.

Excited? Book your trip now and get ready for an unforgettable half day in the beautiful French heights.

I also offer a mountaineering day-trip in Aiguilles Marbrées. Be sure to check it out if you are looking for more options in the area.

I started the mountain with my parents when I was young. I immediately liked and as a vacations spent in the mountains I knew that it was the place where I wanted to be. I like the freedom and all the differents possibilities that it brings us. The mountain is a wide place to play each seasons and we will discover it together.

After few years at the ski club, I started the world competitions with the French ice climbing team for 6 years. I joined two years ago the french alpine team and started the formation of mountain guide behind my studies and my job at Petzl company. I live in the hearth of the French Alps in Chambéry so I am closed to each famous massifs, like Chamonix or les Écrins.

Alpisnim, climbing, skiing, paragliding ... I'm always happy to share beautiful days with clients. Share, transmit, trains beginners to major ascents are my motivation and the reason why I love my job. If you want to purpose some differents ascents don't hesitate to contact me.

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.
