Description

Like a scene from a beautifully shot film, throughout this day long trip, you will get to trek on a high glacier directly in front of the iconic Mont Blanc peak (4,810m), where you will get to enjoy views of the Alps that you will never forget.

Our adventure will begin at the SkyWay ticket office in Courmayeur. From there, we will take a cable car ride to Punta Helbronner (3,472m). At that point, we will begin our easy and incredibly scenic trek on the glacier before returning to Punta Helbronner. Another wonderful highlight of this trip is we will visit the Rifugio Torino, where you can enjoy even more amazing views.

Due to the easy nature of this trip, no prior experience is necessary. As a result, even mountaineering beginners can enjoy this mesmerizing journey into the Italian Alps.

Not a very difficult trip, you will get to enjoy a thrilling trek on a beautiful glacier in the Alps of Italy. And throughout that trek, you will get to gaze upon several amazing peaks, including the aforementioned Mont Blanc. If that sounds like an adventure you wish to enjoy, just send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you and guiding you.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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!

Maxine

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.
