Diego was excellent as a guide on la Chapelle de la Gliere. Knowledgeable, respectful and patient as he guided us up the mountain. If you have lead belay and some climbing experience, this is an unforgettable experience in front of Mt Blanc.

Just completed an unforgettable climb of Pic du Taillon, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. A huge thank you to Gauthier at Explore-Share, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process — responsive, organised, knowledgeable, and instrumental in making all the logistics seamless and stress-free. And as for Mikel — without question one of the best mountain guides I’ve ever climbed with. Exceptionally passionate about what he does, deeply knowledgeable about the mountains, encouraging throughout, and always made me feel completely safe and confident. This was a truly memorable mountain experience. I’d recommend both Mikel and Explore-Share without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional adventure in the mountains.
