Alpes

+1 Day

Jun - Oct

Description

From the introduction course to the large-scale expedition. So I propose you to join me to discover our beautiful mountains by an adventure of mountaineering in the Alps.

Depending on your tastes, wishes and objectives, we can spend one day and come back from the valley or we can stay for more days and spend the night in a refuge.

I will be happy to be your guide and companion in this trip. My objective will be to show you the way and give you the foundation of autonomy. I will also explain you the history of each place we visit, I will evaluate your progress in the learning of mountaineering and I will take you to discover the less frequented places.

I’ll make sure to give the necessary information if you are a beginner, and if you are experienced I will allow you to progress to reach the next level.

We can also make a review about security techniques and mountain rescue.

For example, I leave you here some races I’ve done with my friends and customers in recent years:

– Grépon Mer de Glace

– Mont Maudit – Arête Kuffner

– Grande Jorasses – Tronchey

– Intégrale de Peuterey

– Aiguille du Fou

– La Meije

– Dolent

– La Verte

– Les Droites

– Le Mont Viso

– and others

If you are interested in any of these adventures, please don’t hesitate in contacting me. It will be a pleasure for me to organise a trip that meets your aspirations.

Mountain Guide

I have been a mountain guide since I was 25 years old. My passion for discovering the mountains of the world has led me to the four corners of the earth. Currently, I am also an instructor at the National School of Skiing and Mountaineering (ENSA).

Each year, I organize different trips. I'm in charge of each trip's organization and I'm sometimes also the guide who leads the group. It could either be me or one of my 4 guide friends, who I have been working with for years.

I have been organizing trips around the world for the past 26 years: Alaska, Antractica, Nepal, Mongolia...Over the years, I have organized trips in more than 30 countries.

In recent years I have had the opportunity to discover:
- Ski traverse in Greenland
- Ski touring in Iran, Lebanon, Mongolia, Argentina, Canada
- Climbing in the Yukon at the Lotus Flower, Jordan, Oman
- The high summits of Sichuan, Kula Kangri in Tibet, Langtang Ri in Nepal

I am currently based in Chamonix and the other 3 guides who work with me live nearby as well. If you are interested in traveling far away or discovering the Mont Blanc massif and other places in the Alps, for climbing, ski touring or ice climbing, please contact me. It will be a pleasure for me to organise a trip that meets your expectations.

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.
