Heliskiing at la Thuile and Valgrisenche

Heliskiing at la Thuile & Valgrisenche. 2-day trip w/an IFMGA/UIAGM certified mountain guide

Group

2 Days

Jan - Apr, Dec

Description

I offer this wonderful ski program from La Rosiere or La Thuile in the beautiful virgin and scarcely descending slopes of Valgrisenche, Italy.

This program is given as an indication. We can of course adapt it, both in terms of duration and location. I know the region very well.

DAY 1

We start from La Rosiere by mechanical lifts and descent to the Petit Saint Bernard pass. From there we take the helicopter which will take us to the top of Mont Miravidi or Ouiller (depending on the snow quality ). Then we descend to La Thuile Valley to go by helicopter to the Ruiter glacier.

We will descend to the village of Bonne in the Valgrisenche Valley, where we’ll spend the night at the Hotel Perret (boutique hotel at 100 meters from the DZ helicopter. Simple but very nice and authentic, excellent Italian food !!)

DAY 2:

After breakfast, we will go up by helicopter from the Valgrisenche base (100 meters from the hotel Perret). It will drop us off on the Giasson glacier, to descent to Valgrisenche valley. Then the helicopter will pick us up and drop us off at the Archeboc summit, which we will descend skiing to get to Sainte Foy Tarentaise.

These helicopter drop off proposals are indicative and may be different depending on weather and “snow” safety conditions.

We can also do only off-piste skiing from the ski lifts or ski touring, to try something different.

If this kind of little ski adventure interests you, I invite you to contact me. I’d be happy to help you to discover this region that I know so well and lead you to my little ‘secret’ places

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.
