Description

I invite you to join me on a 2-day women-only mountaineering course in La Grave, a great opportunity to learn and improve your progression techniques on glacier and rock in a supportive environment.

I am an IFMGA-certified woman guide, passionate about mountains, and looking to share this passion with other adventurous women. During this weekend, you will take your mountaineering skills a step further, learning  basic techniques and getting useful tips for a safe and enjoyable experience in the mountains.

This weekend course takes place in La Grave, a famous village and ski resort located at the foot of the La Meije, in the Hautes-Alpes department in southeastern France. You will experience the thrill of climbing on glaciers in the beautiful mountains around La Grave, as they will be our classroom for these 2 days.

We will go over the basic mountaineering skills, improving your progression technique on glacier and on rock. We will learn about crevasse rescue on the glacier and you will also learn how to place protection points, like friends and pitons, when climbing on rock.

After spending a day out in the mountain, learning and putting our skills into practice, we may spend a night in a mountain refuge. On the next morning, we might enjoy a spectacular sunrise over the mountains, and continue with our course. Otherwise, we could stay in a hostel in the village of La Grave.

Women-only courses are a truly empowering and enriching experience, the perfect environment for you to challenge yourself while building your confidence in climbing. We will have a blast on an unforgettable adventure!

If you want to be part of this women-only course in La Grave, just send me a request. Join me and come enjoy an empowering adventure in the beautiful French Alps! I also offer this same women-only course in Chamonix.

I am a certified IFMGA Mountain Guide, ski instructor trainee and a Police Mountain Rescuer "CRS Montagne".

I’m based in the Chamonix valley and have had the chance to travel all around the world: India, Pakistan, China, Yosemite, Antarctica and Canada, among others.

I particularly enjoy rock climbing, introducing women to alpine environments and the diversity of the activities in which I’m involved in. I love sharing my passion, inspiring others to believe in themselves in order to move on and go further.

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.
