Description

If you are looking to try something new, then you should definitely consider ice-climbing. This thrilling sport will allow you to experience the benefits of nature in winter, and explore gorgeous spots. Furthermore, it is a great activity to combine with other outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, ski approaches, or hiking.

On this 1-day Chamonix Ice Climbing adventure, we will learn the basics of ice progression and safety in a gorgeous location. We will start at 8.30 am in Chamonix, and from there, depending on the technical abilities of the participants, and of the ice conditions, I will choose the best spots for guaranteed access and climbing. Of course, I will also show you how it is done. By the end of the day, you will have acquired a new skill, or put your ice-climbing to practice in a truly beautiful place.

Chamonix is famous for its many ice falls, and so, it boasts a wide variety of ice climbing routes for all levels. Therefore, everyone is welcome to join this ice-climbing day trip. You will need to be physically fit, but no prior experience is necessary. I will make sure to give you adequate instructions and that you are safe throughout your climbing day.

So, are you ready to experience the amazing Chamonix ice? Then contact me today, and we will start planning your adventure.

Or, if you prefer, I also lead exciting ski touring adventures in the region.

Man

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 challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

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. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
