Description

Take the adventure of a lifetime and spend 11 days ski touring in a top-tier destination and an iconic group of mountains! Traverse from the Bugaboos to Rogers Pass and cross Canadian wilderness off your bucket list while having an amazing time on an unforgettable journey!

The Columbia Mountains in western Canada are a great combination of access and adventure. Surrounded by world-class wilderness, top quality of snow, and captivating summits of every shape and size, it’s no wonder the region from the Bugaboos to Rogers Pass has become one of the most sought after areas in North America.

Now it is your turn to experience a true Canadian journey on an 11-day ski traverse through this unrivaled scenic landscape. High passes, exposed ridges, and long runs abound on this remarkable tour through the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains. Crossing glaciers and reaching mountain tops, you will experience the most exciting aspects of ski touring and camp along the way.

Your objectives can include the iconic granite spires of the Bugaboos, active glaciers, and National Historic Sites. With 11 days to peruse the wild and ski in snow straight from a dream, there are plenty of options for your immersive program in the heart of British Columbia. Depending on our dedication and the weather conditions, we may be able to complete the traverse sooner than expected.

Our evenings will be spent at camp, giving us a true traverse experience that is considered one of the greatest in Canada. We will set up and break down our camps while heading to each objective. There are possible technical ascents, providing ambitious participants a chance to really test their might in the deep wilderness.

This trip requires a high level of fitness and backcountry skiing experience. A sustained trip in the elements of Canada also necessitates the mental fortitude to successfully complete the journey.

This area is incredibly beautiful, and I am honored to share it with you. We will have a safe and satisfying traverse that you will undoubtedly remember for the rest of your life.

So what are you waiting for? Book this 11-day ski traverse NOW and tour through the immaculate terrain of Canada on a classic course from the Bugaboos to Rogers Pass!

We can also try a four-day hut-to-hut traverse near Lake Louise in an equally delightful part of Canada!

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!

Maxine

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.
