Description

Experience the beautiful Lapland, Sweden, on this exciting heliboarding expedition. Join me for an incredible adventure to the Scandinavian Mountains for 7 days of fun. I can’t wait to show you around.

The gorgeous Lapland in Northern Sweden offers an area of 5,000 square kilometers (half the size of all Austrian ski resorts) to explore in a helicopter. We’ll enjoy 7.5 hours of helicopter fun, experiencing the best powder snow of the area. With 100 unique peaks to choose from, you’ll never get tired of it. The mountains range from 600 to 1,450 meters, and the highest is 2,100 meters!

Some of the snowboarding areas we can visit include: Riksgränsen, Abisko Alps, Kåtotjåkka, Nallo, Sälka and Kebnekaise. And some of the peaks we can snowboard or enjoy its view include Vassitjåkka, Vuoitasrita, Keron, Pallentjåkka and others.

This trip is organized upon request, with a 6-person group. It is recommended for advanced snowboarders in good physical condition. Skiers are welcome too!

If you are already savoring all the snow you’ll get to enjoy, send your request! I would love to be your guide.

I also offer a shorter 3-day trip. Be sure to check it out here.

Mountain Guide

I'm a UIAGM certified guide, skitouring-freeride and heliski guide. I'm a lifelong skier, climber and mountaineer, born in Prachovske skaly, a famous sandstone climbing area in the Czech Republic.
I've personally participated in 13 expeditions to 8thousander peaks and stood 5 times on an 8000m peak. I have guided guests on all continents (7 summits, etc..) in numerous treks, climbing or skitouring expeditions.
I run a guiding company in Prague and work for Patagonia, SKI TRAB and ABS avalanche backpacks. I spend my winter guiding in the Northern hemisphere, including heliski in Lappland (SWE), ski touring in Morocco or enjoying the best powder snow on earth in Japan.
The rest of the time I'm on expeditions in Nepal or South America and I spend most of the summer climbing in my hometown or guiding in the Alps.
I like Czech beer and food, passionate guests and jokes. If I'm not available my team will guide you instead.

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.
