Description
Ski touring means freedom and fun in wild places. Many think this winter/spring activity is not accessible for skiing amateurs. They are wrong! Be guided by a professional and live a unique experience away from the crowd, in Les Contamines or Megève.
You can go ski touring for ½ or a full day with one of our local guides. The program and itinerary will be defined based on your experience. If you are a beginner, a ½ day could be a good start in order to get the basics and learn how to use the ski touring equipment. For the more experienced ski tourers, you’ll be leaving for the day and explore the wild places of the mountain range.
Several ski tour options are possible. These will depend on the time you have, your experience, and the weather/snow conditions. You’ll find some suggestions here below.
1/2 day guided ski touring in Les Contamines
You’ll start from the hamlet of Baptieu in Les Contamines-Montjoie towards Auberge of Colombaz and the chalets of Combettes. You’ll be going up for 2 hours and ski up 400 meters. This is one of several options. You’ll have the chance to taste the delicious pie at l’Auberge.
Guided ski touring day in Les Contamines
You won’t have much positive gain and you’ll enjoy some nice downhill skiing. We will take the ski lift in the Village of Les Contamines. From the top of Roselette ski lift (2115m), we will start skiing down towards south, at the foot of l’Aiguille de Roselette. From there, we will put on skins to go up to Le Col de la Cicle (2377m) or Col de la Fenêtre. We will ski down on la Balme and le Nant Borrant (1452m).
Guided ski touring day in Megève
This day is ideal to get started with ski touring and enjoy breathtaking views. We will start either from Jaillet, either from Combloux from where we take the ski lift. We will put the skins and go up to Petite Croisse Baulet at 2000 meters high. The itinerary goes through forests and glades. The higher we go the more beautiful the views are. From the summit, we can go to Grand Croisse Baulet (2300m) for an additional 1 ½ hour with no additional technical challenges. We will have an amazing skiing itinerary down to Gietaz (1200m). We will get back to the starting point, either with the ski lift, either going off-piste skiing. It’s a great ski touring program that can be adapted based on the level of the participants.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
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!

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.
