Description

Join me on this program around Zermatt and spend 1 week ski touring across the fantastic mountains in this area.

Situated at the foot of the iconic Matterhorn, Zermatt is one of the most important and popular ski destinations in the world. It is the perfect spot for unforgettable experiences in the snow with stunning views as backdrop. If you’re love ski touring, you can’t miss the chance to explore this area!

On this adventure, I invite you to join me on the famous Spaghetti tour. First of all, we’ll meet in the Geneva Airport and transfer you to Täsch, a Swiss commune in the Canton of Valais. As for the tour, most of the huts are on the Italian side, so we’ll explore the border area between the two countries.

During the activity, we’ll enjoy the descents of several amazing mountains in the Monte Rosa Massif, such as the Breithorn (4,164 meters), the Dufourspitze (4,634 meters) and the Nordend (4,609 meters). At the bottom of the page, you can take a look at a more detailed description of each day’s activity.

Also, to take part of this program, keep in mind that it’s mandatory to have prior ski touring experience as well a good level of fitness.

Do you think this ski touring program would suit you? Then all you have to do is send the request and make your reservation. I’m sure you’ll love skiing across the beautiful mountains surrounding Zermatt.

In addition, I lead several ski touring programs in Europe, such as these in Spain, France and Austria. Check them out!

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!

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.
