Description

If you love skiing, you can’t miss this opportunity to take one of the most popular routes in the Alps. Come with me on this classic program and enjoy skiing from Chamonix to Zermatt!

The Chamonix-Zermatt route is one of the most incredible trails in the Alps. It leads us through several stunning glaciers and allows us to contemplate spectacular landscapes. If you come with me on this exciting adventure, we’ll enjoy ski touring in the 3,000-meter peaks surrounding this area. Some of the beautiful natural spots that we’ll explore on this trip will be Lac de Champex, Lac des Dix and fantastic mountains such as Rosablanche (3,336 meters) and Pigne d’Arolla (3,796 meters). At the bottom of the page, you can take a look at a more detailed description of the itinerary.

Please, keep in mind that it’s very important to have background skiing experience as well as a very good level of fitness for this program. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way.

Do you think this would be an exciting adventure? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and book your place. I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful time!

I also lead a ski traverse program in the Apennines. Check it out!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.
