Description

Zinal and Grimentz are two small hidden ski towns in the Val d’Anniviers. They belong to the canton of Valais in Switzerland. I invite you to join me on a 6-day backcountry snowboarding trip and discover the great possibilities they offer for a fantastic riding adventure.

The pure air of the Alps and pristine white peaks await you in these two beautiful off the radar villages, together with amazing slopes, blue sky and sunshine!

We will be able to access the great terrain in the area right from the lifts or after a short hike. I’m a passionate snowboarder, so I will choose the best spots and terrain for a great snowboarding experience. We will be one of the few groups to access the backcountry terrain, as this is how this place works!

Zinal and Grimentz are not crowded, as the slopes around Verbier, Zermatt and Chamonix. Therefore, we are able to enjoy great runs on untracked powder all day long.

During this trips we will stay in a hotel with its own micro brewerey, for the well deserved beer at the end of the day.

Interested in discovering the backcountry possibilities in Zinal and Grimentz? Send me a request and we will start planning your next snowboarding trip! I also offer a 6-day splitboarding trip in Chamonix. Check it out!

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!

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.
