Description

I invite you to some fantastic guided freeride skiing at Les Portes du Soleil (Châtel, Avoriaz, Morzine, Morgin, les Crossets and Champery), one of the major ski domains in the Alps.

You will have access to the best off-piste ski runs from the ski lifts of Les Portes du Soleil. I will show you the best spots to find good snow and good conditions.

We can focus the guided tour on freeride ski or ski touring. It's entirely up to you. However, whichever you choose, we will use the skins so we can reach even more wilder places.

We can leave together for one or several days. We can come back every evening in the resort where you stay, or we can go on a hut to hut ski tour. The choice is yours, and whatever choice you make, I can promise the results will be great.

Next to Les Portes du Soleil, there are other ski areas such as Chamonix, Courmayeur, Verbier, la Grave, la Clusaz, le Grand Massif (Flaine, Samoëns) where I really like taking my friends and clients for some memorable ski runs.

For these guided days, you should have a good level of all-terrain skiing experience and be comfortable on black slopes. I guide clients from the age of 12 years old.

Please send me a request if you are planning to visit one of these ski resorts. I’ll be happy to be your guide and make you spend a great time away from the crowds!

I can also an off-piste skiing adventure in the beautiful Vallee Blanche.

Mountain Guide

The Jura massif is an ideal place to learn and grow your experience in alpine techniques. I practice mountaineering, ski touring and ice climbing in the winter. I am also located very close to the Swiss and French alpine massifs.

First, I started as a ski rescuer. My passion for skiing and climbing helped me discover the classic routes in the mythical summits of the Alps. The first mountain courses I went on with friends as a guide - which I did with a lot of effort, doubts and perseverance - were much needed to build my experience. Still, they also gave me a lot of joy, and I was able to pursue them while laughing and creating beautiful moments shared.

My experience and terrain knowledge will allow you to move safely and enjoy your time, without a promise of the summit but of sharing a privileged and unique moment in the mountains.

Finally, I'm a fully certified IFMGA mountain guide.

Nous sommes partis 2 jours avec Benjamin. C’était fantastique de découvrir une autre façon de faire du ski. Benjamin est un gars super sympa et sécurisant. On a passé deux belles journées avec lui. Un regret : Que l’on ne découvre qu’à 54 balais la randonnée à ski. Qui sait !! On prendra peut-être goût à l’alpinisme à 70 ans. Merci à Explore-Share.com de nous avoir présenté Benjamin. Il est sûrement à conseiller à d’autres candidats.

Superbes moments passés ensemble dans les portes du Soleil, très sympa et très pro. Nous nous réjouissons de réitérer l’expérience du côté de Chamonix en ta compagnie.

Benjamin, jeune guide professionnel, confirme avec excellence que la valeur n’attend pas le nombre des années ! Nous avons pu, en sa discrète compagnie, découvrir en toute sécurité une approche inédite et respectueuse de la montagne dans des randonnées en peau de phoque. Je me réjouis déjà de réitérer cette expérience l’année prochaine, si possible encore avec le même guide, et avec même un degré de difficulté supérieur…

We had booked Ben for a single day and weather did not play nice: rain in the valley, snowfall and high winds on the summits. Hence, we were locked down to a single slope. Ben still made this an awesome day with lots of off-piste dives wherever possible, some avalanche training in between and good advice and powder exercises as he's simply an excellent skier. On top of that he is a great person and also available as guide in Chamonix and 4Vallee. Full recommendation!

Malgré des conditions de neige médiocres notre guide Benjamin nous a permis de passer deux journées fantastiques à la découverte de sites vierges dans les Portes du Soleil. La rando en peau de phoque fut pour nous une grande première à renouveler très rapidement. Admirer la montagne avec un guide de qualité quoi de plus excitant dans la vie !!
