Description
Join me on this 8-day off-piste skiing adventure in the Alps! Depending on your wishes, we can start this program anywhere: from Andermatt to Zermatt and from Verbier to Chamonix.
This is just a sample of an 8-day off-piste skiing program in the Alps. Please keep in mind that we can adapt it according to your expectations and skills.
If you choose to start from Chamonix, our meeting point will be Hotel L'Arve, where we will review all the information and check our equipment. On our second day together, we will start our adventure and ski the famous Vallee Blanche. Surrounded by the most fantastic mountains in Europe, the Vallee Blanche is the perfect place to start our 8-day ski touring trip!
During the next few days, we will explore some of the best off-piste terrain in the Alps. We will ski on Rosablanche, in the Swiss Pennine Alps, and the off-piste terrain in Grand Montets, one of the most popular ski resorts in Chamonix. But please make sure you check out the more detailed itinerary below to get a better idea of the amazing 8 days we'll spend together in the Alps.
Our schedule will be flexible. Our main priority is to go where the snow is good! Keep in mind, however, that all participants need to be in excellent physical condition.
So if you are ready for this adventure, just request to book this trip and let's get started! I guarantee an incredible 8 days in some of the most iconic spots in the Alps.
And if you're into ski touring, you can also check out my Haute Route ski traverse from Chamonix to Zermatt!.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
