Description

Come with me and climb the Eiger North Face, an amazing wall of the Swiss Alps.

I have the pleasure to invite you to climb the Eiger North Face. As you may know, it is a big and hard goal for those climbers with some prior experience. Furthermore, its 1.800 meters of altitude will force you to make the ascent in company with a certified mountain guide.

I strongly recommend you to take at least 3 days to get ready for this climb. In addition, we must do some prior training tours in the area to get acclimatized. We can do the Mönch Laupper route or the Laureraarhorn traverse as well as some ice climbing practices. The costs of these training tours will be determined according to the tour. For example, the prices for a day of ice or rock climbing in the Bernese Oberland start from CHF 650.

The Eiger North Face has several transverse pitches. To overcome them safely, you must know how to use all the technical equipment, such as crampons and ropes. In addition to that, it’s very important to have excellent physical condition.

Depending on the weather conditions the round trip can take us around 20 hours. Therefore, I always recommend to divide the trip in two and rest in a bivouac before the descent. However, it is also possible to climb the ice wall and return on the same day.

Regarding the best period to climb the Eiger North Face, it’s difficult to establish a perfect season. All I can say is that the forbidden months are June, July and August due to the high temperatures and the risks of rock slides.

So, if you want more information about these climbing days in the Eiger North Face, please contact me now. It will be an honor for me to help you plan your trip according to your wishes and climb this challenging wall with you!

Mountain Guide

I was born in Grindelwald in 1976, so the mountain has always been my home. I studied forestry after school, and it became my job for some time.
In 1999, I succeeded ascending the North Face of Mt Eiger for the first time. Over time, I took clients in this adventure, one of the most technical climbs in the Alps, several times.
I also went many times to America, to Yosemite, and of course to the Himalayas.
Since 2002, I have been traveling around the world as a professional guide. My passion is the mountains and I want to share it with you.
When you are in the mountains, it doesn't matter whether you are the fastest or the best, but if you can go back with a great experience.

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.
