Description

There is an abundance of spectacular peaks in the Pennine Alps of Switzerland, and Mont Gele (3,022m) is one of the best. This beautiful mountain in the famed Canton of Valais is not only a great climb, but is also a popular peak for skiing as well.

The summit of this peak is the convergence point of 3 different amazing valleys. They include Bagnes, Riddes and Nendaz. Mont Gele also overlooks the picturesque village of Verbier.

The 2 day climb to the summit of Mont Gele is a comfortable, easy ascent. It is ideal for beginners who are looking to utilise the basics of mountaineering. However, it is also a great source of practice for more seasoned climbers looking to refine their already existing abilities. Regardless of your skill level, Mont Gele is a worthwhile climb.

The first day of the trip will see us leaving from Valpelline Bionaz to the refuge of Crete Seche. We will be walking for approximately 2 to 3 hours. On the second day of the trip, we will Ascend Mont Gele. The scenic and not too demanding climb will take approximately 6 to 8 hours to reach the snow capped summit and head back down.

If you are looking for a mountain in the Alps to climb, but don't have enough experience to tackle the most famous peaks, then this 2 day ascent of Mont Gele is perfect for you. Send me a message if you want to join me on this trip.

I can also guide you on a 2 day, easy climb that will see you reach the summits of not 1, but 2 peaks in the Alps, Punta Kurz and Mont Brule.

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!

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.
