This 7 day trip will begin in the famous French resort town of Chamonix. From Chamonix you will have access to several gorgeous peaks. Those peaks include the Aiguille du Argentiere (3,901m) and the Col du Passon (3,028m). The ascents are amazing, and are full of breathtaking views. And after you’ve enjoyed their summits, you will get to enjoy thrilling splitboarding descents as you make your way down them. In this portion of the trip, you will also get to spend 2 nights in the comfortable Argentiere mountain hut (2,771m).
For the second half of the trip we will venture into Italy. After crossing the border, we will climb to the Vittorio Emanuele mountain hut (2,732m), where we will spend a night. The following day, we will ascend the Gran Paradiso. From this amazing peaks’s summit, you will get to enjoy even more unforgettable views of the Alps. Afterwards, you will get to experience yet another exciting splitboarding descent!
In order to participate in this trip, you should have prior mountaineering and splitboarding experience. Good physical fitness is also a must for this trip as it will be very physically demanding.
Gran Paradiso is a wonderful mountain that is just as much fun on the way up as it is on the way down. To experience it for yourself, along with other peaks and glaciers, send me a request, and let me guide you for a week of great views and great fun.

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.
