Enjoy the beauty of Banff National Park in the Rockies of Alberta, Canada.

Description

At 3,394 meters, Mount Hector is definitely one of the most impressive and intimidating peaks in the Rockies of Canada. It is also one of the best peaks for ski mountaineering as well, which is why I am offering this ski mountaineering trip that can last for one, or more days.

Mount Hector is located within the boundaries of Banff National Park. As a result, this ski mountaineering adventure makes for a great addition to a trip you may be taking to the renowned Canadian park. Also, the views you will get of Banff from the peak’s summit are absolutely breathtaking.

Reaching the top of the mountain is a challenge. The route is steep and icy, and requires some careful route finding. The climb to the summit also has a short, technical section that can be climbed on foot. However, I will see to it that you are properly guided every step of the way. Thus giving you a thrilling, but safe climbing experience. And when it comes to the descent, Mount Hector offers a long, approximately 1,500 meter glacial run that will absolutely amaze you.

Due to the challenging nature of Mount Hector, it is imperative that participants on this trip are in good physical condition. You should also be able to ski at a minimum single black diamond level.

Skiing in the Rockies in Banff National Park is an incredible experience. And on this trip, I would like to take you to the top of one of the highest mountains in the area. To join me, just send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you.

My mission is for you to learn the skills to be competent and independent in the backcountry. I will break down complex skill sets into individual building blocks for you to learn progressively and confidently. After learning the skills, you will get to practice them in the backcountry with my guidance or that of one of the ACMG-certified guides in my team.

Man

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.
