Highlights

* Conquer Jotunheimen, known in Norse mythology as the home of giants

* Enjoy the stunning scenery of rugged peaks, steep valleys and emerald lakes.

Description

The southern Norwegian region of Jotunheimen, meaning “home of the giants” in Norse mythology, covers 3,500 square kilometres. It is home to the 29 highest mountains in the country, including Galdhøpiggen (2,469 meters) and Glittertind (2,465 meters).

The Jotunheimen Haute Route is one of the most beautiful splitboarding areas of Norway. Over the years its rugged mountains have been eroded by both wind and rain and carved by glaciers. This in time created a number of steep peaks, valleys and lakes.

We will climb up to 1,500 meters every day of the trip, covering approximately 16 kilometres, and reach several peaks. These include Besshø (2,258m), the Glittertind (2,465m), the Galdhøpiggen (2,469m), the Bukkeholstind (2,213m) and the Storebjørn (2,222m).

The exact itinerary of our splitboarding tour will depend on the snow conditions and visibility.

We will spend the evenings in comfortable mountain cabins and lodges during the high season. After mid-April the accommodation may change due to the closure of some cottages.

It is necessary for potential participants to be in good physical condition as well as having intermediate splitboarding skills. The program can be adapted for less experienced splitboarders, however, most of the routes contain extremely challenging terrain.

Reserve your place now for an unforgettable splitboarding experience in Norway’s finest and wildest mountain ranges.

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.
