Description
We are happy to invite you to an unforgettable week in Courmayeur, heliskiing on the southwest face of Mont Blanc.
Courmayeur is a historical and legendary mountain village in the Aosta Valley, very close to the Mount Blanc Massif. That is why we think it is the perfect place to land our helicopter and ski by the best slopes of the southwestern face of the highest peak of the Alps! In fact, Courmayeur is the only place from where you can go heliskiing right next to Mont Blanc and enjoy the best descents through glaciers and the most virgin snowfields!
Additionally, Courmayeur counts on a wide variety of ski resorts as well as off-piste itineraries. The surrounding natural beauty in the stunning Mont Blanc makes this trip a delight for the eyes. And the different landing areas will give us access to several and all level runs. We can ski on glaciers like Lee Blanche, Bionassay or Miage and challenge ourselves with drops of 1600 vertical meters.
Besides all these features, we also promise that you’ll live a safe heliski adventure since we have been working on mountain guiding for more than 20 years. We are currently operating with our own helicopter company in Courmayeur. Thus, we’ll provide all the necessary guarantees for you to spend the best week in Mont Blanc.
Regarding snow conditions we may expect some snowfalls during the winter. You will find mostly powder from December to mid April. We recommend springtime as the perfect season to find quality snow.
And in order to offer you a safe experience, we can take with us a maximum of 4 participants. All the members of the group should be fit and have some prior experience in skiing in all kinds of snow.

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.
