Description

Chamonix is without a doubt the dream of every skier and snowboarder. This time I’ll guide you there, to make it come true in a fantastic 6 day traverse in the heart of the French Alps.

With many peaks higher than 4000 meters, Chamonix is the perfect destination for those looking to have a good powder snowboarding time!

In order to fully enjoy the expedition and not to waste too many energies climbing the mountains, I have planned a combined program with some ski lifts as well as some ascents using our splitboard. That way we’ll be able to find hidden places with the best powder and have some physical strength to snowboard them down.

As for the itinerary, we’ll meet up and drive directly to Chamonix. On day 2 we’ll get to know each other on splitboards and learn how to use the transceiver. Once we have the basics of security in the mountains the best part comes! I’ll guide you to the best and wildest corners of Chamonix to get the most out of the runs with the minimum possible hiking effort.

So if you find this freeride snowboarding tour in Chamonix interesting, please send your request and book your place!

I also lead the same program exclusively for skiers. You can check it out here.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
