Description

Towering 3.867 meters above sea level, Eiger is perhaps the most famous mountaineering destination in the Bernese Oberland.

Over the course of two days, we will climb this iconic Swiss peak via the popular Mittellegi Ridge, enjoying a quintessential alpine experience and taking in some incredible views along the way.

After meeting up in the nearby town of Grindelwald, we will take the train to Eismeer station and begin a three to four-hour scrambling and climbing ascent to the Mittellegihut, in which we will spend the night.

The next day is summit day, so after getting an early start, we will begin our four-hour climb to the summit along the exposed and narrow Mittellegi Ridge.

This climb is rated at UIAA 3+ and requires a combination of pitched-out climbing and scrambling in order to reach the summit. Previous ridge line climbing is required for this trip.

Making a smaller ascent before this trip in order to acclimatize is also recommended.

However, once you reach the top, the views out over the mountains, glaciers and valleys of the Bernese Oberland are stunning. All the effort required to get to the tops is paid back handsomely with these unbelievable views.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this challenging but amazing 2-day ascent of Eiger via the Mittellegi Ridge!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 2-day mountaineering expedition to the summit of the Matterhorn!

Mountain Guide

Born in the Austrian Alps, the connection to the mountains was there from early on. Started skiing as a 3 year old kid, bit later climbing and mountaineering stepped in my live. Skiing and climbing all over the Alps and abroad became a huge part of my life.

One of my favorite places in the Alps are the mountains around Chamonix and Zermatt. Since graduating as a fully-certified Mountain guide, I’ve been able to share my passion for skiing and climbing with my guests. When I’m not guiding I try to push my personal limits in climbing and mountaineering. Looking forward reaching summits together.

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.
