Description

Monte Pisanino, located in the Province of Lucca, is the king of the Apuan Alps. It is 1946 meters high, which makes it the highest mountain located entirely in Tuscany. The locals call the mountain the Pizzo della Caranca.

The climb starts from Val Serenaia. From a physical point of view, it is a demanding ascent. You must have experience hiking on steep terrain and it is strongly recommended to go with a certified mountain guide.

The total ascent takes around 7 hours and the altitude gain is of 1100 meters. We will meet in Orto di Donna to start the hike and then the ascent of Mount Pisanino.

The best period to climb it is from May till September. We usually take a maximum of 2 clients per guide, to keep the adventure personal and pay attention to every detail you may need. This price includes the guiding fee and the technical equipment.

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.
