Description
Come with me on this 4-day ski tour adventure in Berner Oberland! This small but yet beautiful region located in Western Switzerland is every ski lover's dream!
In this winter paradise, we can find several fantastic peaks, including the powerful Finsteraarhornhut that rises 3048 meters above the sea. Also, skiers will find one of the largest glaciers in Switzerland, the great Aletsch Glacier (Aletschgletscher), which has a length of about 23 kilometres.
Our meeting point will be in the charming village of Grindelwald (1013 meters) where we will take a train and travel to one of the main peaks in the Bernese Alps, Jungfraujoch (3464 meters). Famous for having the highest rail station in Europe, Jungfraujoch will definitely be one of this trip's highlights!
From here, we will have several options to choose. We may ski down the great Aletsch Glacier for example, or continue down the Trugberg mountain (3993 meters) all the way down to the Konkordia hut, located at 2850 meters. As it will be our first day, we will only be skiing a total amount of 2-3 hours.
During the next three days we will be spending between 5-7 hrs. skiing up and down the amazing mountains that surround us. You will find a more detailed itinerary below!
Although this trip may be less demanding than other ski programs in the Bernese Alps, all participants must be skilled skiers (PSIA level 8) and be in great physical condition.
In case you are looking for a more demanding ski tour, you can also join me on this 7-day Berner Oberland ski tour (advanced).
So if you are ready for this 4-day ski tour adventure in Berner Oberland, request to book this trip!

What people are saying about Explore-Share
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.
