Description

Trail along the footsteps of the Dents du Midi, in the beatuiful setting of the Swiss Alps. Join me for a 2-day adventure on one of the best trails in this region.

The massif of the Dents du Midi is renowned for the beauty of its landscapes, the impressive presence of its cliffs, hills, valleys, rivers and waterfalls, and its fauna and flora. The region is also known because of a marathon that has been ran for almost 40 years. This gave way to the Trail Dents du Midi, one of the best courses in the country.

I invite you to discover these paths on this 2-day hike. The total distance we cover is 57 km, with an altitude change of 3600 m.

Who can come on this tour? This tour is open to curious people who would like to get to know the course in order to participate in the competition. It is also open to sporty people who are looking to engage in a trek at a slightly higher pace than average.

The goal of this program is not to achieve an outstanding performance. It is not meant to be a training session either. The only objective is to enjoy an exceptional and serene time in the mountains. The difficulty level for this program is Sustained to Hard.

The itinerary includes trailing from Champéry (Val d’Illiez) to Mex (Rhone Valley), via Anthéme (Day 1), and from Mex back to Champéry, via the Jorat pass (Day 2).

See more details on the itinerary below.

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.
