Description

Come with me and enjoy a full day of what I think is the best activity I can offer. And that is ice climbing in Chamonix.

The best word I would use to describe ice climbing is unique. Because that is exactly what it is. While it utilises all of the same skills as rock climbing, ice climbing is completely different. Because unlike the secure, stone surface of a mountain, or ridge, when you are ice climbing, you are scaling a frozen wave of water. However, that is what makes this activity so special. The fact that the surface, like the activity itself, is never the same, and is always different, from one day to the next, or even one hour to the next, depending on the weather conditions.

In Chamonix, there is no shortage of beautiful areas to ice climb. And I will make sure that you get to climb up some of the most incredible ice falls you will ever. Also, all of the equipment needed for the climb will be provided. So all you have to worry about is bringing your excitement and wonder. Qualities I know will be increased ten fold when you see and start climbing the icy surfaces Chamonix has to offer.

So come and enjoy a full day of amazing ice climbing. While also keeping in mind that throughout the day you will have ample opportunity to stop and gaze at the sheer beauty of the French Alps. While scaling a sheet of sheer ice.

I look forward to hearing from you.

And if you are looking for more thrills in the Chamonix area. You can also join me for a day of Via Ferrata on this trip. Where you can admire the legendary Mont Blanc mountain.

My girlfriend and I climb at very different levels. We spent a half day climbing with Ivan, and he was able to give us each the instruction that we needed. Whether you are new to climbing or highly experienced, Ivan is the perfect guide to help you develop the skills needed to climb the rocks at Fontainebleau and learn how to navigate around the circuits and the forest.

We had a fantastic experience climbing with 10 friends, all unexperienced but looking for a challenge. Our guides were Willy and Marie, they picked a great spot for us in Rochers du Camp Commando de Marche les Dames. We went for a full day which allowed us a perfect combination of Via Ferrata and mountain climbing. Willy kept us well-informed up front, gave useful tips and even arranged climbing shoes for all of us. Throughout the day they were very flexible to accommodate our wishes and make sure we had the best possible day. Would absolutely recommend!

Ivan was an amazing coach and climbing guide for my 12 year old daughter. He was patient, found the best boulders for her to climb, gave her some excellent climbing technique tips, and helped her mentally on how to make the most of her time at Fontainebleau. It was such a great experience for her. A huge thank you to Ivan!!!

On n'a PAS fait Pont-à-Lesse, sinon Marche-les-Dames, à côté du Camp commando près de Beez. 1 h de préparatifs, 3 h de via ferrata époustouflant. On était en partie des expérimentés, pour d'autres la 1ere fois. Il ne faut pas avoir peur. C'est impressionnant, et assez sportif. Les guides attentifs, aimables et professionnels. Inoubliable.

Really pleased with our trip. There was a slight mis-communication with the booking so we ended up needing to pay a bit more than originally told but overall a really good service. Vladimir was a great guide. Very calm and supportive. We had a fantastic time.

Tout parfait, guide, site. Mais explore share devrait éviter de changer de langue sans arrêt dans ses messages aux utilisateurs. Certain messages en anglais, puis d'autres en français, puis de nouveau en anglais. Ca change tout le temps.

We finally opt for the Grand-Malades (instead of Pont à Lesse) based on explo share advices. We really enjoyed it. The guide was really great! Thanks

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. Thank you!

Great adventure! Sadly les Calanques we’re closed due to fire risk; however, our guide, Guillaume, found another climbing location for us (Saint-Victoire), which was beautiful and fun as well. A note to those from the states — what you climb in the gym ≠ what you climb outside. Make sure to communicate that, otherwise, be ready to be pushed!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ivan. He led me and my two children on an amazing first day of outdoor bouldering. We all had some indoor bouldering experience, but this was the perfect introduction to bouldering outside. Ivan is very knowledgeable, a great teacher and very patient. We all had a great time and the trip was everything I’d hoped for and more. Merci beaucoup!

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 challenges which I thoroughly enjoyed (I climb regularly in a gym and occasionally outdoor sport routes). The view was fantasitic as well. I also learned a lot from Guillaume about all the good climbings in Southern France (definitely coming back in the future!) The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear - highly recommend!
