Description

If you are looking for superb rock-climbing routes in the Chamonix Valley, this trip is a must-do. You can join me for one or more days, and I will show you some of the best spots in the region.

Chamonix is a world-class destination for rock climbing. This time, I propose to take you either to Plan de l'Aiguille or Aiguilles Rouges. I can help you pick the best route for you according to your skills and experience.

Plan de l'Aiguille

Only 1 to 2 hours of hiking from the mid-station of Aiguille du Midi cable car (Plan de l'Aiguille, 2317 m) will take you to this exciting rock climbing spot. Here you can find multi-pitch granite rock routes for different levels. There are climbing routes up to 6c (in the French grading system).

Beginners may want to try routes like Lepidopteres or Papillons Arete (Aiguille du Peigne), whereas more seasoned climbers may like routes like Le Carre or Le Rond et La Lune.

Aiguilles Rouges

Lying on the northwest of the Chamonix Valley, the Aiguilles Rouges (Red Peaks) are a well-known rock climbing area.

This mountain range stands opposite to Mont Blanc massif. Because of that, it boasts some stunning views of its impressive peaks and the whole Chamonix Valley.

The area is easy to access: you can take the Brévent and Flégère lifts from Chamonix or Les Praz.

In Aiguilles Rouges you’ll find a wide variety of multi-pitch climbing routes. Some lower-grade climbs are ideal for beginners with some previous experience. In fact, they’re a great introduction to alpine climbing. However, there are also harder routes up to 6c (in the French grading system).

Mountain Guide

I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.

First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.

I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.

Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.

The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

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.
