Description

If you are looking for a really exciting climbing adventure, I have the perfect plan for you. Join me on a 2-day guided climb and spend the night on a portaledge in Mount Veyrier, in Annecy!

I know it might sound like a risky adventure, but I assure you sleeping on a portaledge is really safe! I have spent many nights hanging from a rock and it's truly an amazing experience, sleeping out there.

We will climb Mont Veyrier (1291 m), a mountain located on the east side of Lake Annecy, in the French Alps.

We have the option of just sleeping there: going down from the top of the mountain and installing the portaledge not far from the top, or in the middle of the wall. Or we can either climb up from the bottom of the wall and sleep in the middle. Then, with this option, the day after we would either abseil down or climb up.

Also, it’s possible to join this tour with no climbing experience.

Besides, if the conditions in the mountain are not good or if you just want to go somewhere else, we can enjoy the same experience on Arête des Cosmiques or in the Brévent peak. These are 2 other amazing spots in Chamonix for this exciting adventure.

So send me a request if you want to join me in this unique experience! We will start planning this great climbing adventure in Annecy together.

It was a great climbing day on almost a vertical rock about 70 meters high. Willy is the best guide I ever met in my life, and without him I wouldn't make it.

We had a great experience with Willy Viez in Wallonie. He shared a lot of useful knowledge with us about alpine rock climbing, especially about lead climbing. His pointers and real life examples turned out to be essential on the following day when we tried to climb an easy route on our own (no quick draws were left behind). Willy assisted us in a way that resulted in great personal accomplishments for the day and he surely helped us to feel more at ease around real rocks. We are very happy with this adventure that has a long lasting after effect.

Really enjoyed our day rock climbing in Les Calanques. Great routes and our guide was prepared, very flexible in terms of what we’d like to do and which levels he could do with us. The communication beforehand was a little unclear since I expected an email and didn’t quite get that I’d have to access the web application of explore share. Nothing major, just could be explained clearer in the email.

We had a great day with Ivan in Fontainebleau. He was so knowledgeable about the area and its history, and about warming up for effective climbing. We had a lot of fun and climbed some very cool boulders despite the very cold weather.

I booked a private shinrin yoku session with Explore-Share, but unfortunately their guide was injured and couldn't do it. Gauthier had been very helpful, quick to communicate and agreed to work with another guide he'd never met. All went well. My first forest bath guided by Magda was powerful and I appreciated the experience so much. She was calm, reassuring, and led all the invitations smoothly and sensitively. An eye-opening experience that will be fondly remembered.

The lift to the via ferrata des Evettes was closed so we did the via ferrata de curalla in Passy. Was a great day!

Yesterday was amazing. Olivier is a world class climber and has a natural ability to quickly assess my level and coach me to exceed what I thought I could do. He was very focused on making sure I was safe. Climbing with Olivier yesterday has had a deep impact on my life as a climber. An excellent climbing guide!

We are so happy we got the chance to have a guided session at Fontainebleau with the E-S Guide team. They were super helpful and responsive, getting me and my climbing partner set up with a trip with <48 hours turnaround from first contact. We worked with Jèrèmie, who was top notch - he knew the area really well and was able to guide both of us to top multiple routes. He met us where we were at with our climbing ability, and was extremely creative at suggesting alternative beta and helping us through problems. THANK YOU!
