Description

If you are looking for an exciting day of steep skiing, then look no further than this trip in the amazing Sella Group.

Located in the Dolomite mountains in Italy, the Sella group massif is unforgettable. There are a number of incredible peaks in the massif. They include the Piz Boe (3,151m), the Cima Pisciadu (2,985m), the Boeseekofel (2,910m), Sass Pordoi (2,952m), and many more. This collection of peaks creates the perfect location for great steep skiing.

The scenery alone is exceptional, from the Dolomites, to the Sella group massif itself. However, when you also include the four gorgeous Ladin valleys where it rests between you just can't go wrong. Those valleys include the Badia valley, the Gherdeina valley, the Fascia valley and the Fodom valley.

There are a number of famous descents in the massif, but none more than the Val Mesdi from the Pordoischarte. However, along with that descent, there is an array of others that are just as exciting. And on this trip, we will figure out which one is best for you. There is also a wide assortment of channels that include the Holzer couloir, the Sass de Forcia couloir and the couloir of the Ghiacciaio.

A lot of what we will do will depend on your abilities and ski levels. But because the Sella group is so enormous, I have no doubt that regardless of your level, we will find something just right for you.

The Sella group is a spectacular massif. It just looks exciting. It just looks like there will be thrilling steep skiing descents away from the crowds of the nearby resorts. And to put your mind at ease, I can assure that is indeed the case. So if you want to enjoy one of those steep descents, just send me a request.

I would also like to offer a 3 day hut to hut ski tour in the beautiful Val di Fassa.

Mountain Guide

I was born in 1961, I live in Campitello di Fassa, in the Dolomites, together with my family. I have two sons, one is a mountain guide, the other is a ski instructor. I am a certified mountain guide since 1982, an instructor of guides, alpine ski instructor and a Federal coach for ISEF.

Being in the mountains has always been my passion, guiding people, teaching them climbing, mountaineering... during the various seasons of the year. I very much enjoy drawing nice curves in fresh powder snow and discover the charm of the frozen waterfalls.

My curriculum and professional mountaineering is made of many ascents and some openings of routes in the Dolomites and the Alps. I climbed in Yosemite Valley (California), Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Norway, Greece, Spain and Sardinia. I did also several high altitude climbs like Mt Denali (Alaska), Ama Dablam (6828m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Manaslu (8163m), Shivling in India (6545m), Cotopaxi and Chimborazo in Ecuador (5897m and 6310m), Patagonia (Argentina).

Feel free to get in touch with me if you are coming in the Dolomites for skiing (alpine, freeride and ski touring), rock climbing, sport climbing and multi pitch climbing. It will be my pleasure to guide you here and let you discover my secret spots.

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.

Valeriya

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.
