Description

There are a number of amazing ski touring routes in the Rockies of Canada. However, few can confidently be referred to as classic. However, in the case of the Surprise Pass route, the word classic can be, without hesitation, attributed to it. And on this full day trip, you will get to enjoy this amazing route that will take you around the beautiful Fairview mountain (2,744m).

Incredibly scenic, as it is located in the Banff National Park, and is in very close proximity to the famed Lake Louise, the Surprise Pass route will almost certainly leave you wanting more.

The Surprise Pass route will take you past the glacial slopes of Mount Aberdeen. It will take you across a beautiful frozen lake. It will take you around the Fairview mountain. And it will thrill you with an approximately 700 meter descent. Thus giving you a truly fulfilling ski touring experience. And also keep in mind that all of this fun occurs under the gazing peaks of the majestic Rocky mountains.

To participate on this trip, you should be in good physical condition. You should also be an at least moderate level skier.

Beautiful, exciting, fun and classic, the Surprise Pass ski route around the Fairview mountain really does have it all. And that you can enjoy the whole thing in a single day is a feat all on its own. To enjoy it for yourself, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

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.
