This 4-day Jostedalsbreen glacier ski traverse will take you across the largest glacier in the European mainland!
With a total area of 487 square-kms, Jostedalsbreen is the largest glacier in the continental part of Europe — there are even bigger ones in the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago). Jostedalsbreen is located in Sogn og Fjordane county, in western Norway, and it covers over half of Jostedalsbreen National Park.
This amazing ski touring trip will start with a bus ride to Amot, in the traditional region of Osterdalen, followed by a taxi drive to Sotaseter. From here, we'll set up our gear and start the ski traverse through wild and incredible scenery.
It will be a journey through the seasons. From the summer weather of the lowlands to the raw winter weather in the highest part of the glacier at 1952m. And if weather conditions are good, we'll be able to summit the peaks of Brenibba (2018 m) and Lodalskåpa (2083 m), the highest in the area.
I’ll be happy to guide you on this 4-day Jostedalsbreen glacier ski traverse. So please send me a request and let's embark on this amazing ski touring project together!

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.
