Description

Mixing the adventure of mountaineering with the freeing excitement of ski touring, this ski mountaineering trip is unforgettable. Taking place on both the Gran Paradiso (4,061m) and Grand Combin (4,314m) peaks, this trip will take you to amazing heights in the Alps of both Italy and Switzerland.

This trip lasts for 3 wonderful days. However, there is also a 5 day version, which you can enjoy as well. If interested, just let me know in advance.

Throughout the adventure, you will get to explore exciting alpine terrain. As a result, you will also get to marvel at the amazing views you will get of the peaks above and the valleys below.

The descents you will get to enjoy on both Grand Paradiso and the Grand Combin are unbelievable. And at the end of the day, you will get to rest and relax in your comfortable accommodations. Hence ensuring you are ready for the following day’s fun!

Ski mountaineering can be arduous. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. Furthermore, you should be able to ski at an intermediate to advanced level. Finally, some mountaineering experience is required as well. To ensure participants meet the criteria necessary to have a safe trip, there will be some testing on the first day.

Ski mountaineering around incredible peaks in the Alps like Grand Paradiso and the Grand Combin is an adventure you will never forget. To be a part of it, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I also offer a 4 day freeriding trip in the Aosta valley, which you can enjoy here.

Mountain Guide

My biggest satisfaction is to explore new places, and share it with a rope-mate. And to do it as a professional is the realization of a dream. At the age of 15, I knew I wanted to become a mountain guide, I wanted to live in the mountains, teach and share my new passion. In 2006 I realized my dream and I became a professional mountain guide. I like sharing my knowledge and experience with my clients, taking a journey that transforms slowly the guide-client relationship in climbing partner and often in friendship. I am not and never will be a lone climber but "a company" 'explorer. My specialty lies certainly in climbing on ice and mixed in the high mountains. With my clients I climbed the most difficult faces in the Alps, explored mountain ranges, traveled between America, Asia, Africa, and Europe.

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.
