Description

Come enjoy the Swedish Lapland region with this amazing 3-day heliski trip. We'll have 5,000 square kilometers of skiable terrain to choose from, in an area comprised between Björkliden in the north, Riksgränsen Abisko in the west and the Kebnekaise massif in the south.

There are more than 100 peaks in this area, with elevation ranging from 600 to 1450 meters. In many cases, we will be skiing above the tree line, so we'll ski down quite open terrain. In addition, you'll enjoy very long descents!

This heliski trip is designed for excellent skiers in optimal physical condition. Two and a half helicopter hours are comprised in the price, though it is possible to buy additional time if weather conditions are good.

As an example, these are some of the areas we'll get to ski:

Riksgränsen: Skiing in open terrain above the tree line. Highest elevation: 1000 meters. Longest descent: 4000 meters.
Abisko Alps: Just a 10 minute flight away from Riksgränsen and Björkliden. Highest elevation: 955 meters. Longest descent: 2200 m.
Kåtotjåkka: Typical alpine terrain with many long and steep runs. Highest elevation: 1250 meters. Longest descent: 5500 meters.

Sound tempting? Then come join me on this incredible heliski trip in beautiful Lapland. Contact me to arrange the details! I also offer a 7-day heliski trip in this area. So check it out if you have the availability. I promise you won't have time to get bored!

Mountain Guide

I'm a UIAGM certified guide, skitouring-freeride and heliski guide. I'm a lifelong skier, climber and mountaineer, born in Prachovske skaly, a famous sandstone climbing area in the Czech Republic.
I've personally participated in 13 expeditions to 8thousander peaks and stood 5 times on an 8000m peak. I have guided guests on all continents (7 summits, etc..) in numerous treks, climbing or skitouring expeditions.
I run a guiding company in Prague and work for Patagonia, SKI TRAB and ABS avalanche backpacks. I spend my winter guiding in the Northern hemisphere, including heliski in Lappland (SWE), ski touring in Morocco or enjoying the best powder snow on earth in Japan.
The rest of the time I'm on expeditions in Nepal or South America and I spend most of the summer climbing in my hometown or guiding in the Alps.
I like Czech beer and food, passionate guests and jokes. If I'm not available my team will guide you instead.

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.

Joshua

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.
