Description
Les Crosets is a very small and charming resort located in the Swiss Alps. With an altitude of 1,670 meters, it has a microclimate and allows great ski opportunities. During this trip, I will guide you to a unique experience focusing on freeride or ski touring.
If you prefer freeride skiing, we will use skins only for short walks from the lifts. We will reach stunning off-piste runs with exceptional snow. But if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of mechanized lifts and crowded slopes, we should focus on ski touring. After walking and climbing uphill, we will discover amazing untracked terrain.
Furthermore, Les Crostes offers splendid views of some unique alpine landscapes. It is located at the foot of Dents Du Midi, a multi-summit mountain of the Chablais Alps. The highest of its seven peaks reaches 3,257 meters.
Les Crosets is part of Les Portes du Soleil (“Gates of the sun”, in French), a major winter destination with more than ten ski resorts, on the border between France and Switzerland. Les Crosets is right in the middle of this enormous ski area, so it has the best access to all the different circuits.
If you arrange for more days we can visit Avoriaz, Morzine and Châtel in the French area, and Morgins and Champéry in the Swiss side.
So, if you are up for this exciting winter adventure, get in touch with me! We will have an unforgettable freeride and ski touring experience in the Alps!
And if you prefer to explore one of the French ski resorts of Les Portes du Soleil, you should check out my Châtel ski touring and freeride day trips.

Mountain Guide
The Jura massif is an ideal place to learn and grow your experience in alpine techniques. I practice mountaineering, ski touring and ice climbing in the winter. I am also located very close to the Swiss and French alpine massifs.
First, I started as a ski rescuer. My passion for skiing and climbing helped me discover the classic routes in the mythical summits of the Alps. The first mountain courses I went on with friends as a guide - which I did with a lot of effort, doubts and perseverance - were much needed to build my experience. Still, they also gave me a lot of joy, and I was able to pursue them while laughing and creating beautiful moments shared.
My experience and terrain knowledge will allow you to move safely and enjoy your time, without a promise of the summit but of sharing a privileged and unique moment in the mountains.
Finally, I'm a fully certified IFMGA mountain guide.

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.
