Hiking and discovery weekend in the Haut Jura

Spend a weekend discovering the magnificent scenery and sites of the Haut Jura with local UIMLA-certified mountain leader Lucas.

2 Days

All year

Description

This hiking expedition to the Haut Jura is a great way to discover this beautiful area while enjoying a pleasant walk in the mountains.

These hiking weekends can be organized both during the summer and during the winter. Take into account, however, that snowshoes might be necessary for the colder months.

During the first day, we will climb up to the Dole summit. It is one of the area's most emblematic summits, from where you'll be able to enjoy the most stunning view. If the weather is good, you may even get to see the Mont Blanc! The Léman lake will be at your feet. During the winter, we will instead climb to the Noirmont summit, more suitable for snowshoeing and just as beautiful.

Finally, the second day is less "sporty". On this day, we will hike to get to two very interesting places in the Haut Jura. First, we'll walk to "l'Espace des mondes polaires", where you'll learn all about the Arctic. I regularly conduct expeditions there and am always happy to share my knowledge of the area. After that, we'll hike to the cheese maturing cellar of comté Juraflore, where you will also participate in a cheese tasting!

If you are visiting the area during the winter, you can also check out my 3-day Jura snowshoeing traverse and my 4-day snowshoeing guided tour.

Contact me to start planning your trip to the amazing Haut Jura. You'll fall in love with this stunningly beautiful area!

Mountain Leader

I discovered the joy of the mountains at a very young age, and I knew that my place was there, in the Jura, the Alps, or elsewhere, but in a place where raised terrain allows to go high...
My experience in the Mountain Troops and the Gendarmerie, together with a regular practice of different mountain sports, allowed me to gain knowledge and know-how that enriched my mountain leader training.
In 2012 I got certified as State Mountain Leader (AEM), which allowed me to start fully living my passion for the mountain, and sharing it with you.
I propose to share very varied activities: walking ,hiking, trekking, snowshoeing. It allows me to enjoy precious moments in nature with you.
To complement my leader training, I discovered trail running 8 years ago, a more sportif and intense way to discover the mountain, always respecting the environment.
I can also offer you my expertise in Morocco, where I have been going often during these last years. My knowledge of the field and of the local correspondants allows me to propose magnificent journeys to you!
From the Jura to the Alps, not forgetting Pyrenees, Corsica and Morocco, my approach to the mountain has always been guided by the search of pleasure and the comprehension of the environment.

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.
