Mountaineering outing in the Alps or Pyrenees

Description

Whether you are a curious beginner or an already initiated mountaineer, whether your desire is to discover mountaineering or to perfect your techniques, I will accompany you in a tailor-made experience, adapted to your level and your objectives.

I suggest you build a day or several days in the mountains together, entirely personalized: glacier walking, ascent of a mythical summit, progression on a ridge or long multi-pitch route. Each outing is designed to combine safety, progress and pleasure, in a friendly and engaged atmosphere.

The Alps and the Pyrenees offer an exceptional, rich and varied playground, where we will inevitably find the ideal outing to experience together, between grandiose landscapes, thrills and unforgettable moments at altitude.

Here are some outing ideas: 

• Dent du Géant: Located in the Mont-Blanc massif and on the French-Italian border, this aesthetic and spectacular summit exceeds 4000 meters in altitude (4013 meters exactly). Accessible from the Skyway cable car, it is possible to climb it for the day despite its high altitude. After a glacial approach walk, a beautiful climb on the Chamonix granite awaits you. The difficulty varies depending on whether you use the fixed ropes or not and the view from the top is incredible. The descent is carried out using a few very vertical abseils. 
• Crossing the Perrons de Vallorcine: Between Switzerland and France, this outing consists of a beautiful crossing of a rocky ridge, punctuated by dizzying abseils and more or less easy climbing passages. Throughout the route, the views of the Émosson dam lake on one side and the high peaks of the Mont-Blanc massif on the other side are unforgettable.
• Crossing the Aiguilles de Sialouze: In the heart of the Écrins massif, this wild crossing takes place on excellent rock. Quite long and difficult, this outing is very complete: glacier approach, rock climbing and rappels on the descent. It also requires sleeping one night at the Pelvoux refuge, for complete mountain immersion!
• Col du Selé: Accessible from the hamlet of Ailefroide at the cost of a fairly long walk and a night in a refuge, this pass marks the border between the departments of Isère and Hautes-Alpes. This easy glacier walking race allows you to discover a wild valley in the Écrins massif.
• Crossing the Crêtes de la Mourelle and the crests of Espade: Direction the Pyrenees massif for this ridge outing of a reasonable level. The route is fun and varied, with alternating passages of climbing and abseiling.
• And lots of other outings!

I also offer specific routes, such as:

• the Pelvoux traverse,
• the Meije traverse in the Écrins massif,
• and the normal route up Mont Blanc via the Bosses ridge.
