Description

One of the Alps’ most emblematic mountains, the Matterhorn (4478m) has lured thousands of climbers for many years. Climbing this mountain often represents a dream for mountaineers all over the world.

Even today, this four-thousand metre mountain allows us to live a real adventure in a high-mountain environment. We will spend the night in a hut before climbing the hardest passages leading to the summit.

The lack of oxygen in high altitude and the technical and physical obstacles make this ascent a difficult one. It requires a particularly good preparation!

However, it is particularly rewarding. This is the most photographed summit on earth. The views from the summit are also breathtaking! I particularly like the beautiful mixed ridge by the Zmutt ridge. It is a wild and accessible route with a great North face atmosphere.

If you are interested in this Matterhorn adventure and/or if you have other projects in mind, I invite you to contact me. I could also take you to climb Eiger, La Dent Blanche, Les Aiguilles du Diable, the Weissmies and Mont Blanc.

We will take time to discuss and define a project together. The goal will be to help you achieve your goals taking into account your skills and expectations.

About the guide

Sylvain

Mountain Guide

Ever since I was born in 1977, I was motivated by a force of freedom. As an adolescent I sought to plunge deep into myself; to know and find myself. I found an answer in the wide open spaces, deserts, journeys and bike rides across thousands of kilometers that nature offers.

Nature is a way to connect with oneself, others and the 'rest'. Sharing these amazing experiences makes them so deep that they defy the very mountains, as we vibrate with a real and powerful energy. Through flora and fauna, through plain and summit: nature teaches and shows us the way.

I live at Jura Neuchâtel. I am married and a father of two small children. I have also been responsible for mountaineering camp and have received a "J + S" recognition (Youth and Sports). I will happily guide you across these mountains.

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.
