Lying to the east of the Sea to Sky Highway, the stunning Garibaldi Provincial Park nestles between the world-class ski towns of Squamish and Whistler.
We begin the traverse at the trailhead to the Elfin Lakes and the Paul Ridge region. The trailhead is 30 minutes away from Squamish following a gravel road.
Our direction turns northwards as we continue towards the Rubble Creek trailhead, close to Daisy Lake. This region is just south of Whistler.
We will experience the glaciers of the Neve, towards beautiful alpine passes. We’ll ascend slowly until we find ourselves underneath the north face of Mount Garibaldi. From here we have an exhilarating ski descent to our camp at the Glacier Pikes.
We’ll reach the peak of our trip with a long and stunning descent down the north facing Sentinel Glacier.
Because this ski tour involves a wide variety of snow conditions, as well as carrying packs, potential participants are expected to be able to ski comfortably in ungroomed conditions. Days are typically 8-hours long so a good fitness level is required.
Get in touch now to reserve your place on an incredible 3-day ski tour traverse in Garibaldi Provincial Park, set among the quality slopes of British Columbia, Canada.

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.
