Very nice trip. The via ferrate was not very difficult. We could finish it in about 1hour and a half. The remaining time we did another (small, slightly more difficult) via ferrata and some climbing. Great guide.

Pont-à-Lesse via ferrata is gorgeous, and Willy is the best guide one can wish for: very knowledgeable and calm. This was my very first ferrata, and Willy helped me feel and be safe. Many thanks!

Such a great way to experience climbing in another country/area! Ivan was my climbing guide and he was super knowledgable and supportive. We went through warm ups, stretches, and best falling practices before we began. I'm an intermediate climber and I learned a lot and felt very safe! He even showed me exercises that could help improve my technique. I'm super grateful I booked through explore-share and plan to do so again when I'm traveling!

We had a great day with Leo. He drove us to a spot with many problems from easy to hard. He was super supportive and positive and gave excellent coaching and climbing advice. He didn't just give beta but really worked with us on the subtle techniques necessary at Fontainebleau.

Petit couac pendant l'organisation, mais tout est rentré dans l'ordre et c'est très bien passé au final
