Description

Sleeping on a portaledge, hanging from the rock, when climbing big walls for example, is simply a completely unique experience. If this is the kind of special adventure you are looking for, join me for this program! This can be combined with one or two rock climbing days around Chamonix, France.

So, come and join me for some rock climb and we’ll end the day with a dinner on the portaledge. This is the perfect setting to enjoy a quiet sunset with an unmatched view on the Mont Blanc. Later in the evening, you will experience the very special feeling of falling asleep with the cool air on our faces.

Another option for this program is to just abseil down from the top of the cliff to spend the evening and the night on the portaledge, without the rock climbing part of the tour. Both are amazing and memorable program options.

Mountain Guide

Mountains are an important part of my life. All my interests in life are somehow connected with mountains. I have been working with people in the mountains since 2013. From the very beginning as a mountaineering and downhill skiing instructor, and since 2020 as a licensed mountain guide. I work on mountaineering, freeride and ski tourism programs. I live in Chamonix, and I work in different mountain regions, depending on the season.

What people are saying about Maksim

Simon

Maxsim couldn’t have been any better ! He was first class and a thorough professional from start to finish. We had multiple weather challenges resulting in several last minute changes for the Mont Blanc trip and due to Maxsim’s planning we were the only two who managed to summit on the day, despite some rather interesting conditions ! As for the Matterhorn climb, all I can say that it was probably one of the most exciting adventures I have had in many years. He paced things perfectly providing expert advice throughout. Nothing was ever a problem and his safety measures were superfluous. Mission accomplished ! Thank you.

Sharon

An excellent and highly professional guide.

Leon

I had a great week climbing with Maksim. He is very easygoing and has an incredible knowledge of the climbing spots throughout the Mont Blanc massif. He made sure I had an amazing week, choosing routes that were both enjoyable and appropriately challenging. I highly recommend climbing with Maksim if you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and friendly guide.

Jaro

Maksim was great, he knew what he was doing and considering options of possible routes and conditions. On first acclimation day my girlfriend joined us and he was friendly and helped her as well. He was patient and he knew when I start to struggle to slow down pace and help me a lot. Mostly he is a great person and we had a lot of fun and new friendship

Nina

Maksim was very friendly and well-organized. He had very good knowledge about Mont Blanc and mountains in general, the gear and how to handle Grand Couloir. We always felt safe climbing with him and would gladly join him for another climb in the future.
