Description
The Tarentaise valley in the French Alps offers some remarkable skiing. The slopes are great, and present some amazing descents, especially near the areas of Val d’Isere and Tignes.
On this full day trip, which can be extended to more days if you wish, I will take you to some of the best skiing areas in the entire Tarentaise valley. This will be a Freerando trip, which is a hybrid between off-piste skiing and ski touring. It is not quite off-piste skiing because we will be venturing further away from the resort areas than typical off-piste skiing trips. I like to do this so we can get away from the crowds and explore the more isolated spots. However, unlike most ski touring trips, we will be using the available ski lifts at times so we can avoid having to skin high up in the mountains. Thus allowing you to save time and energy that can be put toward some great skiing!
There is a wonderful variety of places to ski in the Tarentaise valley. They include Les Arcs, La Plagne, Sainte Foy, La Rosiere, La Thuile, Les 3 Vallees, and many more. With an assortment like that, you can rest assured that I will help you find the perfect spot. The variety also insures that there are powdered slopes for skiers of every level, from expert to intermediate.
When it comes to the descents, there is also a wide variety. They include the Col des Montets, the Col de la Galise, the Croix du Pisset, the Col de la Grassaz, and many more.
The Tarentaise valley is a fantastic place for skiing. And if you would like to experience it for yourself, all you have to do is send me a request.
Are you looking for a different kind of adventure in the Val d’Isere and Tignes area? If so, why not try ice climbing?

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.
