Description

I invite you to join me on a unique an exciting experience: rock climbing with a night on a portaledge, hanging from the rock! If you have an adventurous spirit, come with me on this 2-day guided rock climbing tour in Brévent.

The Brévent Peak lies in Chamonix. It's a mountain in the Aiguilles Rouges range of the French Prealps.

I know that sleeping on a portaledge might sound risky, but I assure you it's very safe. I've slept many nights hanging from a rock! It's an unforgettable experience to sleep there, with no one around. Also, we will enjoy spectacular views of all the Mount Blanc range from there.

We have the option of just sleeping there: going down from the top of the Brévent and install the portaledge not far from the top, or in the middle of the wall. Or we can either climb up from the bottom of the wall and sleep in the midddle. Then, with this option, the day after we would either abseil down or climb up.

Also, it's possible to join this tour with no climbing experience.

If you want to go somewhere else or if the conditions at Brévent are not good, we can experience the same on Arête des Cosmiques or in Annecy, above the lake. These 2 spots are also amazing for such climbing adventure.

So are you in for such an exciting climb in Chamonix? Then send me a request and we will start planning this adventure in the Brévent together. I also offer a guided climb to the Aiguille du Tour, check it out.

We got a guide for backcountry skiing in Chamonix. The guide was excellent in fulfilling our wishes even though the viability was poor and snow layer thin. Our goals was to in a quiet nature area with not too many people. We ended up with 1000 meter gain and a ski through the forest over a 6 hour period. I was one of my best ski experiences.

We had an amazing experience with Leo. Not only did he take us to a great bouldering location, but he really helped with technique to use for our future climbs. He was able to accommodate harder climbs for my husband while making sure I was still able to climb as a beginner. It was also extra special climbing with a local. Would recommend!
