Description

The Jungfrau mountain is the highest of three famous mountains in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. The word Jungfrau means maiden or virgin. With her snow-covered summit, this peak is truly an emblem of beauty. To reach her top it's best to go with a seasoned guide. On this 2-day ascent of the Jungfrau, I will gladly show you the way!

We'll meet in Grindelwald. This beautiful alpine village has also starred in many films! Then we’ll take the Jungfraujoch train until the last stop – Jungfraujoch. From there, we will begin our ascent. The first day we will walk just a short distance (1 hour) until the Mönchsjochhütte where we will spend the night. The next day, we will start early in the morning, descend to the Jungfraujoch, cross the glacier and start to climb the normal way to Jungfrau. If we are lucky, when we set off for the summit we will enjoy a beautiful sunrise!

Although this is not a terribly difficult ascent, it is important that you have prior experience in walking with crampons and ice axe and a good fitness level. During the last stretch, we will need to tackle a steep slope with snow and ice until we reach the summit ridge. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to assist and guide you. And, the stunning views will be the reward of some hard-earned work!

Are you ready to discover the beauty of the lovely Jungfrau? Then book your place now and join me on this 2-day ascent of the Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps!

If you haven’t practiced winter climbing for a long time or if you have some trouble with the altitude (maybe you haven’t been before above 400 m), I suggest you first to join me on a 1-day Monch ascent.

This is also a great ascent for those training for more challenging summits such as the Matterhorn. If you're up to it, make sure to sign up for the 3-day ascent of the Matterhorn via the Hörnli Ridge or the slightly harder Matterhorn via Lion's Ridge!

Mountain Guide

I was born in Kranj (Slovenia), and since I was a child the mountains have been my passion. I graduated in Sports at Ljubljana University and started an alpine career as a member of the Kranj Alpine Club.

In 1977, I climbed my first eight-thousander: it was a new route on Gasherbrum I. Some years later, a partner and I became the first Slovenians to ascend Mt Everest, also on a new route.

In fact, I’ve been at the top of Everest twice. The second time, I reached the summit with my wife Marija, and we were the first married couple achieving that.

Throughout my alpine career, I took part and even lead more than 20 expeditions in the Nepalese Himalayas. There, I climbed more than six peaks over eight thousand meters: two of them on new routes and three using pure alpine style. I also climbed in Patagonia, Pamir, USA, Caucasus and Scotland.

However, my major success was climbing a new route on Kangchenjunga, in alpine style and together with climber Marko Prezelj. After this, we won the prestigious mountaineering award Piolet d’Or.

I am a mountain guide since 1982 and I obtained my IFMGA license in 1997. I am also an instructor at the Slovenian Mountain Guide Association (SMGA).

I still live in Kranj with my wife and the youngest of our three children.

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.
