Description

For 6 amazing days, I would like to guide you on a ski mountaineering expedition to no less than 9 incredible summits in the Italian Alps on the Monte Rosa Massif!

Beginning in Gressoney, our adventure will take you to several different summits each day of the 6 day trip. And all of those summits are part of the Alps’ 82, 4,000 meter plus peaks.

The summits you will be scaling include the Vincent Pyramid (4,215m), the Punta Giordani (4,046m), Ludwigshohe (4,341m), Parrot Peak (4,432m) and Blackhorn (4,321m). You will also be scaling the Balmenhorn (4,167m), Signal Group (4,554m), Zumstein peak (4,563m) and the famed Gran Paradiso (4,061m).

Each one of the peaks you will be climbing on this trip offers their own set of unbelievable views. They also offer some incredible descents as well, which you will get to enjoy to your hearts content.

During this trip, you will be staying in several high altitude mountain huts. Those huts include the Gnifetti hut, the Mantova hut and the renowned Margherita hut, which is the highest hut in all of Europe. Each hut, like the peaks you will be enjoying, offer spectacular views, along with a comfortable place to relax and rest. Hence preparing for the following day’s adventure.

To participate on this trip, you should be in good physical condition. You should also have prior ski mountaineering experience as well.

To scale 9 peaks in 6 days, on skis, is the kind of experience you will never forget. To enjoy it for yourself, just send me a request.

I can also take you on a 5-day ski mountaineering trip around Saas-Fee, in the Swiss Alps.

Mountain Guide

I'm a professional UIAGM mountain guide who works all over the world and has an addiction for traveling and working in many different places. I live in the southern part of Bavaria/Germany in a beautiful region called Allgäu. It's the perfect location to explore the Alps.

I work as a guide year-round and I love spending time with my clients in the mountains. Fulfilling their dreams and sharing beautiful moments together is what motivates me to do a great job every day.

I have spent a lot of time in the mountains since I was a kid. Mountaineering, climbing, ice climbing and running have always been a big part of my life and I hope to continue for many more years.

I was part of the German National Ski Mountaineering Team and have competed in all major global races, including Pierra Menta, PDG, Mezzalama, Tour du Rutor etc. I participated in many Worldcup races as well. This experience was very important for my guiding career in terms of motivation, knowledge and experience!

I guide my clients all over the world. I'll take you anywhere you want to go and we can reach a mountaineering goal together.

Please get in touch with me if you're interested in one of my programs or want to discuss a particular goal you have in the mountains. It will be a pleasure to make you an offer and discuss projects and plans for the future.

Hope to see YOU in the mountains.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.
