Description

The Vosges massif is a fantastic playground for snowshoeing. In this occasion I invite you to the Lac Blanc region, and in particular to the Gazon du Faing. Join me for a splendid snowshoeing day!

Located on the Lorraine side of the great ridge of the Vosges, near the Calvaire pass, we find the Tanet – Gazon du Faing Natural Reserve. There are 505 hectares of protected terrain, where nature is very well preserved. The mountain forests are splendid, and what can be best than to explore them with our snowshoes on?

The Gazon du Faing is one of the 10 highest summits in the Vosges massif. From the top of it, the views over the Lac Blanc and the surrounding peaks is amazing.

We will have lunch in a lodge and rest for a while to enjoy the rest of the day. In total, during the day we will walk for 10 kilometers. The positive altitude change is 250 meters.

Do you find this snowshoeing proposal tempting? Then please send me a request to book this trip! It will be my pleasure to guide you there. Another beautiful snowshoeing option in the area of Lac Blanc is this one in Le Grand Brézouard, check it out!

From hiking to snowshoeing, and from mountain biking to trail running, I'll take you to all the best spots in my home mountains, as well as all over France.

I'm a certified Mountain Leader and a certified Sports Instructor, specialized in Rock Climbing. I'm also a certified Mountain Bike instructor. If I'm not available to guide you, I'll have one of the mountain leaders in my team (Antoine, Pascal, Daniel, Vincent or Lionel) take you on a wonderful tour of the area.

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.
