Description

This 6-day Haute Route ski touring program is the ultimate skiing adventure that every proud off piste skier should complete!

The Haute Route goes for 180 km from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland. It was completed for the first time in 1861 and it has been a goal for many climbers and skiers since then. 

In addition to connecting 2 traditional alpine towns, this route goes through 2 amazing mountains like Mont Blanc (4810) and Cervino (4478).

I offer you to complete the route in 6 days. This will allow you to ski some of the best slopes in the Alps, but also to enjoy the incredible snowed sceneries during the whole traverse. On top of this you’ll be experiencing spending the nights in the middle of the mountain. We’ll stay in traditional refuges, build many years ago and with many stories to tell.

This ski tour is accessible to all skiers with a bit of experience ski touring in all kind of snow and some nights in mountains huts.

So if you’d like to Join me for this 6-day Haute Route ski touring program please contact me to check the details and start preparing this adventure.

Guide was good, skiing was mediocre but that is because of snow conditions which can't be helped.

Quentin nous a encadré pour deux journées de ski de rando. Il a su mixer à merveille le coté découverte de la montagne et le coté sportif du ski de rando. Quentin nous a également fait profiter d'une initiation à la recherche ARVA. Ce fut deux journées très enrichissantes. Merci Quentin !

Quentin m'a permis de découvrir le ski de randonnée, que j'aimerais, grâce à lui, pouvoir essayer à nouveau. Son côté belge est très sympathique et son expérience de la montagne est enrichissante.

Un guide belge, que demander de mieux lorsqu’on vient de la même région que lui. Il a pris la tête de la randonnée et nous a fait vivre une expérience inoubliable. Quatre heures de montée pour vingt minutes de pur plaisir. C’est certain, il sait nous régaler et nous faire rêver. Merci Quentin et j’espère à la prochaine !

Quentin, un guide toujours souriant tout en restant professionnel, on a vraiment passé une semaine de folie à ses cotés. Très professionnel quand il faut, il sait aussi s'amuser le soir dans le refuge ce qui nous permet de voir une autre facette des guides de hautes montagnes. Sans prise de tête, il a réussi à emmener un groupe de jeunes ( très peu sportif :) ) à 3000 mètres d'altitude en peau de phoque. Il rend la montagne beaucoup plus belle et intéressante. Merci à lui et à son équipe!!!

Super semaine avec Quentin! Guide expérimenté qui connait son métier et qui a su mettre à l'aise tout un groupe. Très bon contact avec lui et son équipe. A refaire

The conditions were hard, a lot of wind and some cloud layers downside. Quentin managed to keep the group together and drove us trough deep powder on the lower parts of Alpe d'huez since La Grave was closed. It is an excellent guide with huge human skills ! We loved our journey with Quentin and are sure we will ride together again soon

Great time with Quentin, a guide as we like. Professional, human and super nice. I have already done several routes in mountain et ice climbing (Dents du Geant, tour ronde in the corridor Gervasutti, le Rateau ouest, ...) and every time a beautiful human adventure. Seb

Quentin is simply an awesome guide. It was one of my first climbing experiences and Quentin helped me feel safe. He is very professional and knows how to manage groups of people. Despite the changes in our project, Quentin always tried to accomodate the best options for the group. His experience and knowledge of the mountain gave confidence to each group member. The fact that he is both physiotherapist and guide is a great advantage, regarding physical preparation and stretching for example. Thanks Quentin! And see you next year on top of the Mont-Blanc!

Quentin is a great guide. I really learned a lot about the mountains when I ski touring with him. I felt safe all the time and also had great fun !
