Description

Come enjoy the magnificent slopes of the Pays des Escrins! If you are dreaming of making turns in the most perfect powder, this 4-day ski touring program in Puy Saint Vincent and Pelvoux is the trip for you!

You won't believe the powder snow you'll find here. The lack of wind in this area creates the most perfect snow conditions! "Powder alerts" happen almost daily in Puy Saint Vincent and Pelvoux.

This area is at the heart of my activity and I'll be happy to show you around. You need to be a solid skier and, additionally, have a very good fitness level to participate in this 4-day ski touring program.

First, we will meet at Argentière la Bessée and spend three days skiing the backcountry terrain of Puy Saint Vincent. The fourth day will be spent at the small (but amazing) ski resort of Pelvoux!

If you'll be visiting the area during the winter and would like to check out some of my other programs, take a look at my ice climbing course in the Hautes Alpes.

So contact me to find out more about this beautiful ski trip. It will be a pleasure for me to take you skiing to some of the best powder in the Alps!

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.

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.
