1 Day

Apr - Nov

Description

You have here a great opportunity to climb with a Swiss IFMGA mountain guide one of the trilogy of the 4000m of the Bernese Alps, Mönch (4107m). The 2 others being Eiger and the Jungfrau for which, my team and I, also organize guided ascent.

Please be aware that you need to have some solid experience walking on crampons on steep (40-45°) and mixed terrain (rock and snow).

The journey starts in Grindelwald where we take the train to reach the Jungfraujoch station at 3454m. During the ride, we will have 2 stops (Eismeer and Eiger Nordwand) to take some time to enjoy the amazing views.

I particularly enjoy summiting Mönch because:

The final ridge, before reaching the summit, is really spectacular;
The landscapes during the ascent are extremely beautiful, in the heart of the Bernese Alps, next to Eiger and Jungfrau;
It’s a 4000-meter peak;
It’s possible to climb it in one day thanks to the Jungfraujoch train who brings you at 3454 meters high.

The program is as follow:

After leaving the train at Jungfraujoch station, we will walk for one hour till the bottom of the south-east ridge. From there, we will put our crampons, our ice axe and rope us together. We will take then 3 hours to reach the summit passing by a beautiful ridge. The way down goes through the same way. During the summer, it’s possible to do a traverse, going up through the west ridge and going down through the south-east ridge.

We can also leave for 2 days and climb Mt Jungfrau on day 2 staying at Mönchjochhütte on the first day.

If you plan to come in the region and if you want to experience an amazing time up in the mountains, please get in touch with me and let’s plan together one or several days on and around these 3 amazing peaks of the Bernese Alps.

Mountain Guide

Attracted by the mountains since childhood, I started with climbing and alpinism. I then discovered my passion for ski touring.
I started a Young&Sport instructor training to lead young people in the mountain, accompanied by guides. This experience inspired me to become a mountain guide, and I got certified in September 2015.
I work in a guide's office with other guides friends as Stéphane, Raphael, Christian and Jean-Luc, mountain leader.
What I love the most: make people enjoy, allow them to discover a region, laughing, everything in a safe way.
So if there's something you wish, if you dream of exploring a region or country, don't hesitate to contact me.
See you soon for new discoveries!

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.
