Description

The picturesque village of Champex, set around the beautiful turquoise-hued lake of the same name, is the starting point of this great day hike. Champex is located in the canton of Valais, at an altitude of 1500m, in a tranquil high valley in southwestern Switzerland.

This is wonderful plan for good hikers!  From Champex, I will guide you to the Cabane d’Orny (2831m), through the beautiful Val d’Arpette, a pristine valley with an ancient forest and flower-filled meadows. You can bring your own picnic and enjoy it surrounded by amazing scenery.

The Cabane d’Orny offers great views of the Orny glacier and surrounding mountains. On our way down, we will descend and return by the wild Combe d’Orny. We will spend an unforgettable day, discovering wonderful views.

Would you like to join me on this great day hike? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and book your place! If you’re looking for a more demanding program, take a look at this hiking tour I lead in the Mauvoisin Lake.

Mountain Leader

Setting off on an adventure on a whim, without a precise plan, walking according to desires and emotions, pushing further to discover what a summit or a ridge reveals. Trained as a business lawyer, then manager of a large sports store, biathlete and trail runner, it was my job as a guide that ultimately allowed me to establish a more structured and secure framework for my wanderings, but without ever losing my wonder and my curiosity. It is with this state of mind that today I like to travel and share the mountains here and elsewhere, preferably roaming, in order to give us time to soak up the landscapes which evolve over time, days and seasons.

I will always be happy to set off on the classic tours, but above all I strive to guide you off the beaten paths.

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.
