Description

Mount Alvear (1450m) is an impressive peak in the southern Andes. This 2-day mountaineering trip is your opportunity to reach its summit with an expert local guide. Join me for a fabulous alpine experience in Argentina!

Located in Ushuaia, in the province of Tierra del Fuego, the Alvear can be climbed at any time of the year. However, the best period is from late spring to the end of the summer. This will allow you to enjoy amazing rivers and waterfalls during the ascent!

This 2-day adventure will take us to the top of a beautiful mountain after crossing some awesome valleys, hanging glaciers and leafy forests. From the summit we will enjoy panoramic views of the Beagle Channel, the Darwin Range, and Escondido, Fagnano and Yehuin lakes!

So, if you are up for this 2-day mountaineering adventure in the Andes, please contact me! Let me guide you to the top of Mount Alvear, in Ushuaia!

And if you prefer shorter adventures, you can check out my hiking outings to the  Ojo del Albino and Martial glaciers.

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.
