Jan - Mar, Dec
Description
Let’s live a unique week off-piste skiing in the wildest places of La Grave and all the Vallée de la Claree.
Off-piste and freeride skiing lovers are in a lucky day. La Grave is the mecca of off-piste skiing. It’s a exciting and remote spot where you can find slopes that ascend up to 2300 meters with wild but safe descents.
La Grave is not an usual and big ski resort. So, there is only one cable car that ascends from 1400 to 3600 meters in about 30 minutes.
The complete program consists in 5 days of activity. We must add 2 extra days to travel to the starting point. First, we will live a wonderful 3-day trip in the Vallée de la Claree, staying for the night in comfortable mountain lodges.
Then, we will spend 2 days off-piste skiing at La Grave, a wild glacial terrain with really amazing slopes. These days will be also dedicated to cross-country skiing. We will spend the night in the magnificent huts of the Vallée de la Claree, near Briancon.
I will lead a group of maximum 4 skiers. That way it will be a more fluid and enjoyable activity. It is necessary to have previous experience in off-piste skiing and ski touring in unspoiled snow.
The sensation of skiing in deep snow conditions is unforgettable and you will hardly find it elsewhere.
It’s your opportunity! Get in touch with me if you find this trip interesting. I’d be happy to guide you across the Vallée de la Claree.

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.
