Join me on this epic 5-day trip in Chamonix where I’ll give you all the tips and tricks you need to conquer off-piste skiing and ski touring.
Chamonix is the perfect place to hone your off-piste skiing and ski touring skills. It’s a world-renowned ski destination and it gets some awesome powder. Plus there are awesome views of the Mont Blanc massif that you can enjoy as you ski.
I want you to finish this 5-day trip feeling like you can safely handle off-piste skiing. So, I’ll share all the knowledge I have to help you improve your technique. You’ll also learn the very best safety practices.
Over the five days, we’ll explore the La Vallée Blanche and Argentiere glaciers, and more.
We like to keep the group small for these trips. So we make sure the group has a minimum of four and a maximum of six people. This helps you to really get the most out of the course.
So, request to book now and make this the year that you nail off-piste skiing. You won’t regret it!
If you are interested in mountaineering, you should definitely check out my 3-day ascent of Mont Blanc trip.
Our aim for this trip is to get you comfortable with off-piste skiing.
To do this we’ll go through some important lessons. These will include:
-Evaluating and dealing with risks linked to off-piste skiing
-How to use a transceiver, shovel, and probe when caught in an avalanche.
-Tips for improving of off-piste techniques

I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

Highly recommended. Very successful trip over Leinzspitze and Nadelhorn. A very challenging climb made possible by the excellence of our two guides.

I had the pleasure to do the Arête des Cosmique climb with Kyriakos this summer. His is kind, easy to be around, and has a professional mindset. Due to this the climbing experience exceeded all expectations. When I am climbing in Europe in the future, it will definitely be with Kyriakos.

The trip rating is actually for summiting Gran Paradiso rather than Mont Blanc. Unfortunately the conditions for Mont Blanc were very poor with all the thawing of the permafrost enabling many rock slides. Explore-Share receives a 4 as the instructions for wiring funds were consistently incomplete. The address for Explore-Share that is on file with the bank is required not just the address of the bank.

Kyriakos was the best guide that we could asked for and more. Very professional and skilled in any aspect of mountaineering and climbing. We learned from him a lot , spend together 5 amazing days full of action.

Kyriakos was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and attentive. I really enjoyed having him guide me up the mountain. He was more than willing to share information and answer questions that I had, and he did a good job steering me toward a route that met my personal needs/goals. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Covid trouble made booking and reservation things difficult. - despite that very good service via explore share, thank you! However, there were some communications difficulties with the guide. Also during the trip communication on planning wasn't always great with him. Otherwise as a guide in person he was very patient and great. Trip itself was very nice, without any complaints!

Appreciated the professionalism and flexibility of my guide. On summit day, some groups turned back due to the winds, but Kyriakos decided to continue and assess as we got higher up. We ended up making the summit. I appreciated his willingness to put in the effort to continue on instead of just calling it like others did. Great guide and would book with him again.

Kyriakos Rossidis is a fantastic touring and skiing guide. Our safety and well-being was his top concern. Extremely competent and helpful with equipment and all arrangements with huts, etc. Also great company — low-key, friendly, sense of humor. Could not ask for a better guide.

Een indrukwekkende ervaring, zeer goede begeleiding en vlotte organisatie. De eerste dagen afwisselende trek en klimtochten om te acclimatiseren en gewenning te krijgen met omgeving, de gids staat open voor suggesties en persoonlijke voorkeuren.

Taking a rock climbing course with Kyriakos was the right choice for me. He is professional, experienced, rigorous, very serious about his teaching and pushes you beyond your limits in the best way possible. He would always answer all questions we had and took the time to help with our weaknesses and fears. By the end of the course I felt I had build a strong background on safety and very confident to lead on my own. He is an aspiring mountain guide and nature lover. I would strongly recommend him as a teacher and as a guide!

We very much appreciated Kyros’ professionalism and knowledge of the area. We’re fairly adept skiers but were not all that familiar with the mountaineering gear or protocol - Kyros was very thorough with his directions and making sure we were all safe. I had a 12 and 13 year old with me and he gave me a lot of confidence with his skills without being patronizing. ( Plus...he found us the goods!) We all had a great day. Happy to recommend him for or offer other intel.

Kyriakos was awesome! Very knowledgeable but didn’t push or feel like a lesson. If we asked a question he’d answer but we never felt like he was trying to teach. I was extremely happy with how we saw every other “group” going down more or less the same route and he brought us over to a spot that was untouched.

Kyriakos has a ton of experience and we felt very safe with him. I wish I was in better fitness condition for climbing mountains. Going on the StairMaster was not sufficient. My quads struggled going down hill and I should have trained in boots. I ended up renting boots that gave me bad blisters

We found Kyriakos to be thorough, professional, even tempered and completely trustworthy. At no point did we notice unnecessary risk or exposure and Kyriakos’s professional manner shone through at all times. We would definately consider using his services again in the future.

My Son and I we're absolutely delighted with our day out skiing the Vallee Blanche. Our guide Kyriakos was friendly, helpful and extremely professional. We really felt that we were being looked after by one of the best. Kyriakos also shared his knowledge of the route, the mountains and he even gave us some tips to improve our skiing. An absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget.

I had a brilliant time on my 2 day climbing ascent of Mont Blanc. The guide was great and I really enjoyed the challenge of the climb aswell as the stunning views and scenery. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking of climbing Mont Blanc and feels they have the fitness and ability to do so in limited time and feels they are able enough for the harder Trois Monts route. It truely was an amazing experience!

Kyriakos is a top guide and a clear expert in his profession. He is a patient mountain guide and Is the best guide I have ever had the pleasure of climbing with. If you’re determined to climb Mont Blanc Kyriakos and his amiable personality will ensure you have fun on the way to the summit! I will seek his services in the future for other climbs around the world.

He sees the abilities and the will of each trainee. By this way he helps his trainees to reach their maximum potential during the climbing course.

Kyriakos was an exceptional guide and coach. His professionalism when he was training us together with his patience and his support made him the ideal trainer for me. This man is a calm force that you can count on. I will choose Kyriakos for the next rock climbing levels in the future to complete my training!

The mountain and the entire area is amazing on ots beauty, but two days are not enough for this climb. When I wanted too book the trip the guide dis warn me but I wanted to try anyways. Unfortunatelly like he said, I didn't get aclimatiazed to air and couldnt make it to the top. You should try and do the mont blanc climb, just not in 2 days, unless you're experienced with climing and low air environment.
