Description

Follow me up Mont Blanc, one of the most iconic peaks in the Alps. During 6 days, we’ll explore the French side of this impressive mountain between the Monte Rosa and Monte Bianco group. Join me!

For this adventure, we’ll meet at Gressoney Staffal and spend the first 3 days at the Gnifetti Hut (3,600 meters) for acclimatization. The following three days will be spent attempting to reach the Mont Blanc summit (4,810 meters) from the French side. We’ll try to spend those nights at the Gouter hut (3,800 meters), but it is a hard place to book, so we might stay at the Tete Rousse Hut, just a bit lower down in the mountain. For a more detailed description of the itinerary, make sure to read the section below.

The dazzling Mont Blanc is Europe’s highest mountain and is also considered one of the eight Wonders of the World. Send your request to explore this outstanding mountain. Take part on an epic adventure planned for intermediate mountaineers!

For more summer adventures in Italy, follow me to ascend the Monviso peak and/or enjoy canyoning in different locations around northern Italy.

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!

Maxine

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.
