Description

Come and join me in this wonderful mountaineering trip across the Austrian Alps to see one of its highest mountain: the Grossglockner! It is a 6-day trip full of adventure and wonderful landscapes which will stay printed in your memory.

Adventure yourself this high-altitude hut to hut expedition in the Austrian Alps. You will have the chance of reaching the extremely high top of the Grossglockner.

Also, you will be witness of the altitude splendour of 8 mountain peaks of over 3000m. Some are Romariswandkopf, Johannisberg, and many others.

It is a classic Haute Route, one of the best to do in the Austrian part of the Alps and of course in the Grossglockner area.

The traversing trip will be filled of highlights. The hut to hut mountaineering from Schwaiger to Oberwalder and the following day to Stüdl is just one of them.

We will also visit one of Austria’s biggest glacier, the Pasterze. This walk will last for 8-9 hours. So, much better if you have some experience using crampons to walk on ice.

You will have the chance of sleeping underneath the Grossglockner. There is a hut which is the highest one of the East Alps.

I invite all adventure lovers to join me! It is not a particularly difficult expedition. You just have to be in good physical conditions and know the basics about alpine climbing. The climbing sections are very short and they only reach a grade II.

I will accompany you in groups of 4 people maximum so I can guarantee your trip to be well-guided and safe.

Join me and I assure you you it will be an experience you won’t forget and you will probably want to repeat. I’ll be waiting for your contact since it will be a great pleasure to accompany you through this especially courageous alpine adventure on and across the Grossglockner.

Mountain Guide

I am an IFMGA mountain guide, but also a passionate traveler and climber. I really enjoy exploring and re-exploring the most beautiful climbing spots in the world. And what I like most is to share with you all my joy and passion while helping you to discover the mountains.

Since 1997 when I got my mountain guide certificate, I have been guiding my guests throughout the European Alps, heliskiing in British Columbia, South America, New Zealand and the United States.

Actually and for many years, Zermatt has been my “home base” for guiding during summer season. During these years, I’ve climbed on all the peaks in the valley and around Saas Fee. One of the best experiences and personal highlight in the season, is guiding the Matterhorn which offers incredible views of the Western Alps.

I like guiding people from all around the world and help them enjoying and reaching their objectives. It will be my great pleasure to let you discover such a great spots! I am waiting for you!

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.
