Description

The Vercors Massif belongs to the Alps and is in the Auvergne region of France, near Grenoble. Due to its great amount of snow, it’s the perfect area to enjoy snowshoeing. Join me on this 4-day adventure and explore this fantastic place with your snowshoes on!

On this program, you’ll discover a very interesting spot from different perspectives. Vercors Massif offers an amazing winter landscape where we’ll get to see part of the local flora and fauna. Additionally, I’ll tell you about the massif’s geology and we’ll follow the footprints of the animals. Apart from its natural attractions, this area has historical importance for being one of the spots where the French resistance gathered. Furthermore, after snowshoeing, we’ll try some of the delicious local meals and products.

As for the itinerary, on day 1, we’ll reach Vassieux-en-Vercors from Switzerland. Then, on day 2, we’ll explore Les Hauts Plateaux or Font d’Urle, according to weather. Day 3 will be the day of Vassieux and its beautiful landscapes. Finally, on day 4, we’ll go to Pic Saint Michel and return to Switzerland.

Please, take into account that the program is aimed at intermediate participants with prior snowshoeing experience. However, we’ll adapt the itinerary according to the group’s level. Also, consider that you can either join a group in the date detailed below or you can book a private tour with flexible dates.

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.
