+1 Day

Jan - Mar, Dec

Description

All winter long, I propose to guide you on the most beautiful off-piste descents in the Alps as the Vallée Blanche in Chamonix or the valleys of the Meije in La Grave.

The area is huge and unmarked. Let’s go out of groomed trails and discover the turns in powder fields and descents on slopes just for you. There is something for all levels, whether you are a skier, snowboarder or telemark skier.

The most famous Off-piste area in the world, the Vallée Blanche crosses the heart of the Mont-Blanc for over 20km. You will have the opportunity to ski on the Géant glacier and on Mer de Glace, starting from 3800m, at Aiguille du Midi.

Excellent panoramic itineraries, it’s a unique and accessible descent.

I invite you to contact me to chat. I will be happy to guide you there and make you live a unique ski experience.

About the guide

Jean-Baptiste

Mountain Leader

UIAGM / IFMGA High Mountain Guide
As a Belgian who moved to Grenoble in 2005, I don't get tired of living in the heart of the mountains.
Nothing tied me to the mountain... I was born on March 27th 1983 near Brussels. As many Belgian kids, I played football and judo. I wanted to practice climbing but my mother didn't want me to. "Too far!", she used to say, "you can do it when you are in college". And so I did (we have to listen to our mothers!). When I was 18, I started studying History and I joined the climbing room in Louvain-la-Neuve. Two disciplines that came into my live and stayed forever. Climbing, I did my first 5a, then 6a. I started going to cliffs in a small Belgian rock (Yvoir), my first large climb was in l'Offre at Verdon, and then my first mountain course was the unforgettable epic Snow Dome in the Ecrins.
I barely knew how to put on crampons or how to tie a knot, but I had decided to become a high mountain guide. In 2005 I finished my History studies, left Belgium and started my adventure in the mountain. Training, mountain courses, skiing... In 2007, I was a member of the National Excellence Alpinism Team of the French Alpine Club. That's when I met many people in my wavelength, a great feeling that encouraged us to go on a thousand adventures in the Alps, the Himalaya and elsewhere.
In 2009, I started studying to be a high mountain guide in the National Ski and Alpinism School at Chamonix (ENSA). My dream has come true!
I always keep dreaming of summits, edges, expeditions... There is enough to fill 10 lifes, so let's start now! Either with my friends or as your guide, the mountain is always a pleasure.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
