Chamonix is a classic destination for mountaineering. In this occasion, I invite you in particular to join me in a traverse of Vallee Blanche, in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif.
This is a great option for a summer mountaineering adventure in a high mountain environment. The wilderness sensation and the incredible views are waiting for you!
We will meet at the Aiguille du Midi cablecar in Chamonix early in the morning, to make the most of this traverse. We will take the lift up to Aiguille du Midi, at 3800 meters. From there, we will descend the arete, which is exposed, until we reach the glacier, at 3500 meters. Then we will cross the glacier and head to Italian territory, progressing between crevasses. All the way we will be surrounded by stunning 4000ers. The panorama is simply magnificent! To end the day, upon reaching Punta Helbroner, in Italy, we will enjoy a break and take the cablecar down to Chamonix.
This trip can be planned as a one-day program or as a multi-day activity if we combine it with some other great ascents in the area. For example, we can also ascend Dent du Geant or the Cosmiques Arete at Aiguille du Midi. Other options include the Aiguilles d’Entreves traverse, the Pyramide du Tacul, the Trident du Tacul, the Tour Ronde or the Rochefort Arete. Or, if we plan an ascent to Mont Blanc by the Trois Monts route, this Vallee Blanche traverse is the perfect acclimatization program.

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.
