Description

This 8-day Ski and Sail expedition in Spitsbergen takes you to discover one of the most unique ski touring destinations in the world, with an amazing combination of mountain, sea and arctic landscapes. Enjoy an unforgettable journey to a land perfectly designed for skiing!

Our backcountry adventure takes place along the west coast of Spitsbergen, the largest and only permanently populated island in the wild and remote Svalbard archipelago, 1000 km from Norway and 1200 km from the North Pole. Surprisingly, it offers an easy access with daily flights into the Longyearbyen airport.

The Prins Karls Vorland island, situated in the west coast of Spitsbergen,  allows straightforward access to dozens of fjords, with pleanty of peaks from 500 to 1000m rising right out of the sea, offering amazing ski touring opportunities. A sailing yacht is probably the best way to discover Norway, and only by boat is possible to access these peaks.

During these days, we will be sailing in the comfortable and stable Noorderlicht yacht. It is almost 50-meter long and provides exceptional luxury for our skiing adventure.

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.
