France is quite a large country, with a diversity of cultures, traditions and customs in different areas. The best big cities to arrive and leave from when not splitboarding include Paris, Lyon, Nice, Marseille and Toulouse.

Some of the splitboarding can be challenging, so being in good shape and having a decent level of fitness before undertaking splitboarding trip will enhance your enjoyment of the activity.

It was great!
Matthieu Vaxelaire for Chamonix guided backcountry skiing tour
Francesc Planas Morell for Freeride skiing with a guide in La Grave
Mathis was great. He is very knowledgeable about the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc area. Our trip down Vallee Blanche was amazing and we
felt comfortable knowing Mathis was our guide
Luke for Chamonix Vallée Blanche guided off-piste skiing
Ben is a world class guide and my experience was so much fun. I would recommend him to any of
my family or friends and will be back in the future and will request Ben.
Jim MacLean for Guided off-piste skiing in Vallee Blanche (Aiguille du Midi)
I am really, really happy with both Explore-share.com’s service and their recommendation of guide Benjamin Souflot. Benjamin was extremely
personable, and more importantly knowledgeable. Benjamin recommended where to rent ski gear and the proper gear for the day. He had crampons for my boots, ropes and other safety gear needed. I showed up at the meeting spot early, and Benjamin was already there waiting. On the gondola ride up to Aiguille du Midi, he talked safety and what to expect. When we got up to the top, it was very windy and intimidating. As Benjamin prepared the gear for our descent, he talked safety, strategy and was reassuring that it would be a fun, safe adventure. As I look down the face of the Ridgeline, I became nervous and anxious. Benjamin was very reassuring that it was going to be OK, that I was safe with him and we would make it down. Sure enough, Benjamin literally “talked me off the ledge” and we proceeded down. Benjamin was focused & guided me the entire time. Once we started skiing, Benjamin gave great instructions as to where to ski, what to expect ahead, etc. He was very knowledgeable about the mountain. When we took breaks, Benjamin shared with me interesting facts about where we were, in the mountains France, Italy, Mount Blanc, the crevasses, various peaks, history of the glacier, etc. I had a great experience! I would definitely do this trip again with Benjamin. I would also recommend this trip to anyone else with Benjamin and your company, Explore-share.com. Thank you again! -John
John Sullivan for Guided off-piste skiing in Vallee Blanche (Aiguille du Midi)
Jessy took good care of us. He contacted us in good time before our actual day. Super nice and skilled.
We like to ski long days and so did Jessy. If we come back we will definetly contact Jessy again.
Eric Nord for Ski touring and Freeride skiing in Les 3 Vallées
The one day we had with Nicolas was excellent max. We toured the Vallee Blanche and it was an outstanding
tour and he was an amazing guide!  Thanks again Nico!
dannydangor@gmail.com for Vallee Blanche (Aiguille du Midi) Guided Off-Piste Skiing Descent
Skiing from Aguille du Midi down to Chamonix has been an experience of a lifetime. We enjoyed the Valle Blanche
breathtaking views all the way down and the best route and ski conditions we could ever had! Our guide provided us with the avalanche material and safety information prior to start the run and shared his knowledge and skiing advice with us during the day. We’d 100% recommend the activity and our experienced guide Mathis! Having him guiding us made it an incredible day. Thank you so much for the unforgettable adventure!!
Miriam Elizalde for Chamonix Vallée Blanche guided off-piste skiing
Overall the experience was great – Xavier really knew the local area catered to everyones abilities in the group and
offered some great advice. I would love to book another day trip (or maybe even a multi day trip!) with Xavier so I could experience some of the peace and quiet you get away from the piestes in the remote areas of the mountains. Would recommend to anyone that wants to explore the mountains away from the crowds.
Alastair Hardie for Freeride skiing guide in Val d’Isère and Tignes
Really knowledgeable chap and really nice. Just a pity the top lift wasn’t open!
Stuart Millington for Freeride skiing with a guide in La Grave
The Vallee Blanche is near the top of every skier’s bucket list and I am happy to say that it
did not disappoint! The spectacular views, various snow surfaces and inclines, and the adrenaline rush of skiing on a moving glacier cannot be beat. Mathis was an amazing guide. From the beginning, he was knowledgeable about every face of every mountain in the area. It is very clear that skiing and climbing are his passions. He evaluated us and chose the perfect route down. Even when things got a little dicey on the ridge and around the crevaces, he kept his cool and gave very clear instructions. I would 100% reccomend hiring him for this trip or any other skiing or mountaineering experience.
Rob Klein for Chamonix Vallée Blanche guided off-piste skiing
We had a truly wonderful ski tour with Mathis, he is a fantastic guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the area
and his passionate about getting people to know and see his backyard shows! We will definitely be coming back to Chamonix to ski tour again!
Michael Dillon for Chamonix Guided Ski Touring
What a fantastic trip. Our guide Julia was amazing. She has an extensive knowledge of the local area and is
an very experienced guide. We would highly recommend Julia as a guide.
Chrissy Schreiber for Vallée Blanche Guided Off-Piste Ski Excursion
We had booked Ben for a single day and weather did not play nice: rain in the valley, snowfall and
high winds on the summits. Hence, we were locked down to a single slope. Ben still made this an awesome day with lots of off-piste dives wherever possible, some avalanche training in between and good advice and powder exercises as he’s simply an excellent skier. On top of that he is a great person and also available as guide in Chamonix and 4Vallee. Full recommendation!
Frederik Heber for Les Portes du Soleil Guided Freeride Skiing
Christophe Thomas for Guided ski touring around Val d’Isère
Benjamin, jeune guide professionnel, confirme avec excellence que la valeur n’attend pas le nombre des années ! Nous avons pu, en sa
discrète compagnie,  découvrir en toute sécurité une approche inédite et respectueuse de la montagne dans des randonnées en peau de phoque. Je me réjouis déjà de réitérer cette expérience l’année prochaine, si possible encore  avec le même guide, et avec même un degré de difficulté supérieur…
Christophe for Les Portes du Soleil Guided Freeride Skiing
Malgré des conditions de neige médiocres notre guide Benjamin nous a permis de passer deux journées fantastiques à la découverte
de sites vierges dans les Portes du Soleil.  La rando en peau de phoque fut pour nous une grande première à renouveler très rapidement.  Admirer la montagne avec un guide de qualité quoi de plus excitant dans la vie !!
Baudouin for Les Portes du Soleil Guided Freeride Skiing
Superbes moments passés ensemble dans les portes du Soleil, très sympa et très pro. Nous nous réjouissons de réitérer l’expérience
du côté de Chamonix en ta compagnie.
Jean-Luc for Les Portes du Soleil Guided Freeride Skiing
Nous sommes partis 2 jours avec Benjamin. C’était fantastique de découvrir une autre façon de faire du ski. Benjamin est un gars
super sympa et sécurisant. On a passé deux belles journées avec lui. Un regret : Que l’on ne découvre qu’à 54 balais la randonnée à ski. Qui sait !! On prendra peut-être goût à l’alpinisme à 70 ans. Merci à Explore-Share.com de nous avoir présenté Benjamin. Il est sûrement à conseiller à d’autres candidats.
Christophe for Les Portes du Soleil Guided Freeride Skiing
Nous avons passé une excellente journée avec Benjamin sur le domaine des Portes du Soleil. Malgré des conditions d’enneigement difficiles,
il est parvenu à nous trouver de belles descentes. Très pro et à l’écoute de nos envies, Benjamin nous a fait découvrir des recoins cachés dont il a le secret. De plus, ses conseils techniques en pente raide ont été très utiles. Entre des combes bien préservées, de la peau de phoque et une Via Ferrata avec les skis sur le dos, la journée a été remplie d’émotions. Je le recommande vivement !
