Description

Morgins, in the Swiss Alps, offers perfect terrain for freeride and ski touring. And I know this place very well, so I want you to guide you to its best spots!

Located at 1,333m in the Canton of Valais, in southern Switzerland, Morgins is part of the Portes du Soleil ski resort. This is a huge Swiss-French winter sports area covering more than 500 km2, twelve villages and almost 200 lifts.

If you want to focus on freeride skiing, we won’t need to walk too much to reach some amazing virgin snow runs. Morgins has a large natural powder reserve very close to the lifts.

And if you are an adventure enthusiast, you can discover the magic of these mountains with ski touring. We will climb up the snowy slopes with skins to then make our own downhill tracks in top-quality powder snow. It will be a unique skiing experience far away from the busy slopes!

Morgins is situated at the foot of the Dents du Midi, an imposing multi-summit mountain surrounded by beautiful lakes and forests. While skiing, you will be able to appreciate an amazing alpine landscape.

In addition to that, a special lift pass will allow you to ski in other Portes du Soleil resorts in both Switzerland and France: Les Crosets, Avoriaz, Champéry and Châtel, among others. If you want to explore the complete ski domain you should arrange for more days.

So, what are you waiting for? If you want to live a real freeride and ski touring experience, contact me! I’ll be glad to get you to some stunning powder runs of the Alps!

And if you want to ski in Portes du Soleil French side, you should check out my Avoriaz ski touring and freeride day trip.

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.

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.
