Description

Berner Oberland is part of the canton of Bern, in Switzerland. This 6-day ski touring adventure is your chance to explore this huge area under expert guidance. Join me!

On this tour, we will travel through the UNESCO Heritage Site Jungfrau-Aletsch, between the Bernese Oberland and north-eastern Valais. This region is home to the largest glaciers in the Alps and lots of over-4000m peaks. We will ski hut to hut on top-quality powder snow surrounded by a fabulous alpine landscape.

First, we will meet in Interlaken, a traditional resort town in central Switzerland. During the following 6 days, we will ski in the most beautiful spots in the area, such as Jungfraujoch (Europe’s highest railway), Äbni Flue Mountain, the impressive Konkordiaplatz, Grüneggfirn Glacier and Grünhornlücke Pass, among others.

Because each day we will be moving uphill for several hours and skiing around 800-1200 vertical meters, you need to be reasonably fit for this trip. Additionally, you should also have some ski touring experience.

So, if you are up for this 6-day ski touring adventure in the Berner Oberland region in Switzerland, please contact me. Magnificent mountains, unspoilt nature and breathtaking views await us!

Mountain Guide

I was born in 1979, grew up in Albertslund, just outside Copenhagen. I started climbing when I was 14 years old and I was immediately gripped by it. In 2000 I became a Rock Climbing Instructor (AK) and shortly after, in 2001, I moved to Canada to go to school - I took a degree in "Adventure Tourism". The real reason I traveled to Canada was the mountains and nature. The years I lived in Canada I used to develop my skills as a climber and alpinist. I also began training to become an international mountain guide. Since I have returned to Europe, where I have spent time climbing, skiing and being on tour. I have also completed my degree and I'm now internationally recognized as mountain guide and a professional working in the various mountain activities. During my years in the mountains, my passion for climbing and skiing have become stronger and stronger. As a guide and instructor, I hope to get the chance to share my passion and experience with you!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
