Highlights

  • Discover the amazing mountains of Saas Fee.
  • Try yourself with a 3-day ski mountaineering trip.
  • Enjoy breathtaking views of the Pennine Alps.

Description

Saas-Fee is a winter sports area lying at the foot of the Swiss Pennine Alps. This trip is your chance to try yourself on a 5-day ski mountaineering trip. 

Located near the border with Italy, Saas Fee is known for its proximity to amazing glaciers and several over-4,000m mountains. Its resort offers more than 100km of pistes, but if you get away from the lifts, you will also find an extensive stretch of powder terrain!

Ski mountaineering involves climbing on skis or carrying them, and then descending on untracked slopes. On this 3-day adventure we will explore some of the most impressive peaks of Saas Fee: Allalinhorn (4027m), Alphubel (4002m) and Stralhorn (4190m). Challenging ascents and long powder descents are guaranteed!

Furthermore, we will spend the nights in two charming  mountain huts surrounded by fabulous landscapes. And as if this were not enough, they serve delicious local food!

So, what are you waiting for? If you are up for an awesome ski mountaineering trip in the Swiss Alps, then please get in touch with me. Let’s spend 3 unforgettable days in the mountains of Saas Fee!

I also offer an off-piste ski tour in the Mont Blanc massif!

Mountain Guide

I am Reccardo Olliveri, class 1975, registered to the Alpine Guide College of Piemonte since 2002 and graduated in environment and territory engineering at the Turin technical college. I live at Turin, but I am resident in the Alps where I practice the mountaineering activity all through the year; I love the void and I play every time I can; on rock, ice, dry tooling and also skiing.

Its with great passion that I continue practicing the mountaineering activity and I dedicate myself to pass on to all those interested to know, the spirit and the ability to dedicate oneself close to the mountain in all its forms.

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.
