Description

Join our experienced guide on this 5-day hike through the stunningly picturesque Berner Oberland!

We begin our hike from the village of Lauterbrunnen, which is located in a valley of the same name. We will hike roughly three to seven hours each day along well-worn trails of easy to intermediate diffulty, making this the perfect trip for families.

As we make our way through the valleys, we will pass by the wondrous Thunder Don waterfall and in the shadow of the iconic wonders of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Throughout the duration of the hike we will see firsthand the awesome power of nature, as we make our way from one glacier-carved valley to another.

We will also enjoy the peace and solitude afforded us by these glacial valleys. For miles each day we will hike alone, without another person in sight, giving you time to contemplate and enjoy the sublime scenery.

We will also enjoy traditional Swiss hospitality, which will be afforded to us each night we stop at a mountain hut.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this gorgeous 5-day hike through the Berner Oberland in the heart of scenic Switzerland!

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.
