Description
Ski touring in the Vaud Alps and Lower Valais combines powder-filled backcountry terrain, panoramic glacier views and easy access from Lake Geneva towns.
The Vaud Alps (Alpes vaudoises) include well-known areas such as Villars, Les Diablerets and Glacier 3000, while Valais offers high-alpine playgrounds and countless touring lines — together they create an exceptional, varied region for ski touring at every level.
Depending on snow conditions and the group’s technical level, we’ll select a custom route in the Vaud Alps or Lower Valais. The meeting place and logistics will be chosen to minimize travel time and maximize time on snow. Because each tour is unique, exact itineraries are created the morning of the tour.

Itinerary
Day 1: Customized Switzerland Ski Tour
Depending on snow conditions, terrain, and the client’s technical ability, we will select a tailor-made ski tour for the day. The specific area will also be chosen according to the client’s logistical constraints (access, travel time, and conditions). As each tour is fully customized, a detailed itinerary cannot be defined in advance—every day offers a unique experience.
Day 2: Chasing Snow & Terrain
The day follows the same flexible, client-focused approach as Day 1, with the ski tour adapted to current conditions and preferences. Upon request, guidance and recommendations for suitable accommodation in the area can also be provided.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
