Alpes

5 Days

Jun - Oct


Description

Sports hike on the Trail Verbier Saint Bernard course.

The Trail Verbier Saint Bernard route (Alpine X) is run by the best trailers in fifteen hours. I propose to cross it in 5 days, at sports hike rhythm. Not less than 111 km for a total positive vertical drop of 8400m, through the Val de Bagnes and Val d’Entremont via the Grand Saint-Bernard pass.

Definitely a performance punctuated by culture, history and legends, and of course in a fabulous setting overlooking the snowy peaks of the region.

Challenge yourself and discover this fabulous course!

Here is the program that I propose.

Day 1: Verbier-Champex. Discover the Château de Bagnes, the legend of Catogne. Ascend Catogne, one of the finest viewpoints of Valais.

Day 2: Champex-La Fouly. Yoga session optional in the morning (with Cecilia Swensson, qualified teacher). The visit of the Champex marshes and the Alpine Garden, the layering of vegetation, the Orny glacier.

Day 3: La Fouly- Grand Saint-Bernard pass. In search of the Val Ferret wolf, Hospice of the Grand Saint-Bernard pass.

Day 4: Grand Saint-Bernard pass -Mille pass. A bit of history with great men of the Grand Saint-Bernard pass : Hannibal, Saint Bernard de Menthon, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Day 5: Mille-Verbier pass. Yoga session optional in the morning, “ecological survey in Val de Bagnes”.

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.
