Description

The Refuge du Roc de la Pêche is a charming hut in the middle of the National Park of la Vanoise, the 1st French national park. It is located between La Tarentaise and La Maurienne in the Alps. It is the dream spot for ski touring enthusiasts, beginners or experts.

The idea is to be based in le Refuge du Roc de la Pêche and go every day discovering a new area of the park. We will take our lunch (picnic) in the mountains and come back every afternoon at the refuge to enjoy a good rest, a nice meal…

Here are some of the routes we might ski together:
– Roc du Blanchon (2747 m), 836 m of vertical gain, 5:00 (go and back)
– Col d’Aussois(2916 m), 1005 m of vertical gain, 5:30 (go and back)
– Col du Génépi (2903 m), 992 m. of vertical gain, 5:30 (go and back)
– Col rouge (2731 m), 820 m. of vertical gain, 4:30 (go and back)
– Passage de Rosoire (3479 m), 1568 m of vertical gain, 7:00 (go and back)
– Dôme ou Aiguille de Polset (3326 m or 3501 m), 1415 m or 1590 m. of vertical gain, 9:00 (go and back)

It’s a very good option when the weather conditions are uncertain as it gives us the flexibility in terms of itinerary. Each day, we go where the conditions (weather, snow and wind) are the best.

The place is beautiful, the refuge very confortable (confortable beds, showers, jacuzzi and hammam…) and the host very welcoming.

It is suitable for all levels of ski tourers, beginners as more experienced.

Please get in touch with me if you wish to live a nice ski touring experience in a beautiful remote place for 2 or more days.

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.

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.

Cami

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.
