Description

Explore the stunning Norwegian glaciers on this incredible 3-day experience. Join this glacier tour on Nigardsbreen and learn all the necessary skills for future mountaineering adventures!

Nigardsbreen is the most accessible route of the Jostedalsbreen glacier; a glacier that covers 487 square kilometers and is the largest in continental Europe. It is located in the Jostedalsbreen National Park and the views it offers of mountains, fjords, glaciers and snow are mesmerizing.

This trip is ideal for people looking for an introductory course or people with limited days of vacation. You’ll learn everything there is to know about hiking the breathtaking blue ice. There are also options to snow hike on Tuftebreen or Jostedalsbreen, two other stunning options in Norway.

We recommend this trip to participants in a good physical condition and with some experience in mountain hiking. Also, participants need to be, at least, 17 years old.

If you like nature, you’ll love Norway. So send your message and let us guide you through this dazzling glacier. This is an adventure you’ll never forget.

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.
