Discover the incredible powder snow of Chamonix, France on this special trip.
The Vallée Blanche, within the Mont Blanc massif, offers an adrenaline-fueled descent through glaciers and high-altitude terrain. Guided by a certified UIAGM mountain guide, you'll safely navigate around crevasses and seracs while enjoying the stunning wilderness of the French Alps!
Starting at 3812m at the Aiguille du Midi elevator, you’ll descend nearly 2800m all the way to 1035m in the heart of Chamonix (snow permitting). The route takes you across the famous Mer de Glace glacier, with a third of the journey above 3000m featuring views of Mont Blanc, Mont Blanc du Tacul, Le Dru, and the Grand Jorasses.
This iconic glacial route is perfect for both skiers and snowboarders looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, keep in mind that the Vallée Blanche is not a groomed piste but a raw, natural descent through glacial terrain.
Be it the adrenaline of the descent or the beauty of the Mont Blanc massif, the Vallée Blanche guarantees a one-of-a-kind journey.
So follow me on this incredible adventure adapted to your expectations and experience!
Standard ski equipment will do the job—just be sure to check your bindings before heading out. You’ll need a backpack that can hold your skis, a climbing harness with a carabiner, crampons compatible with ski boots, an avalanche sensor, and a ski helmet. Dress in reliable cold-weather skiing gear to stay warm and comfortable. Don’t forget the essentials: sunglasses or goggles, sunscreen, a small snack or energy bars, a water bottle or thermos (0.5–0.7L), and a camera to capture the adventure.

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.
