Description

Discover the beautiful Southern French Alps with this 4-day snowshoeing program. Over these days, we will be based in Saint-Véran, the highest village in Europe! Every day, we will discover a different corner of the fabulous Queyras Regional Park. This is a great experience for which you don’t need previous experience.

For this program, we will be staying at the quaint Le Grand Tétras Hotel in the heart Saint-Véran. This accommodation counts with all the comforts that make a stay super relaxing. This includes free access to the sauna and sports room, great ways to unwind after an exciting snowshoeing day. Different type of rooms available.

On this tour, I will guide you across the impressive views of the different valleys of the Queyras. Always making a point of the importance of responsible tourism and sustainable development.

There will also be time to meet the locals and eat dinner made from local productions.

Groups on this program will be between 5 and 13 guests. Snowshoes and the safety gear will be provided by me, included in the price.

Also, you don’t need to have previous snowshoeing experience to come along on this program. The total walking time per day will be 4 to 5 hours. And the daily altitude gain will be between 300 and 600 m. You will just need to be able to carry your own small backpack for the day (30 to 40 liters recommended).

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.
