I invite you to join me on this 2-day trip to climb Le Rateau (3809m) via the south ridge, one of the highest peaks in the Écrins Massif.
Le Rateau is situated very close to La Mejie, just separated by a ridge. The mountain overlooks the village of La Grave to the north, and the valley of the Romanche river.
We will meet in the Grenoble area. On the first day we will hike for about 3 hours to La Selle mountain hut, where we will spend the night. On the next day, we will ascend Le Rateau and descend back to our starting point.
I can take up to 2 people in this ascent. This is not a difficult climb, but it is a long route, so you need to be in good shape to join this program. You need to be able to walk for many hours in a cold climate, crossing glaciated terrain on high altitude.
This is a great program for those looking to venture themselves into mountainerring, as we will climb the complete route, using crampons, climbing and abseiling. Also, it is a perfec trip for those who enjoy to be in wild places, surrounded by stunning landscapes.
Are you in for this ascent in the Écrins Massif? Just send me a request, book your trip and get ready to climb Le Râteau!

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
