Description

This La Grave – Vallée de la Clarée off-piste snowboarding program will take you to some of the most amazing powder slopes in the French Alps!

La Grave is a small ski resort town in the southeastern Hautes Alpes province of France, almost in the border with Italy. Very close to this town is the scenic Vallée de la Clarée, a valley that follows the river with the same name, and gets packed with snow in winter.

So on this off-piste snowboarding we’ll spend a 5 days exploring this great area to find the best untouched slopes for you to ride!

First we’ll enjoy 2 days riding through La Grave. Here there is only one lift, a cable car that goes from 1400 to 3600 meters in about 30 minutes. From there on I will look for the best terrain depending on the weather conditions.

Then we’ll spend the next 3 days on a snowboarding traverse through Vallée de la Clarée, staying in cozy mountain huts and exploring great backcountry terrain.

Want to join me on this La Grave – Vallée de la Clarée off-piste snowboarding program? Send me a request now and I’ll take you on an amazing adventure you will never forget.

And if you feel you’re not ready for this kind of challenge yet, let me invite you to my Piau Engaly 2-day off-piste snowboarding course.

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.
