Description

Piercing alpine peaks dominate the skyline of Val Bregaglia, a picturesque valley that mostly slides within Swiss territory, with a section falling into Italy.

The name of the valley originates from the Bergalei tribe that once inhabited the alpine territory.

Entering the Casnil pass places us at the heart of Val Bregaglia, opening up breathtaking landscapes and stunning views of giant granite spires.

Firstly, we’ll take the cable car to Albigna Lake, a tranquil reservoir that gently sits at 2,163 meters above sea level in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

Albigna Lake is located on the southwest side of the Val Bregaglia. From here we’ll take off on foot, exploring the valley packed with breathtaking scenery.

You’ll ascend snowfields and navigate large granite blocks scattered along the Casnil south pass at 2,941 meters above sea level.

This hiking trip among the alpine wilderness of Switzerland should take approximately 5 hours on foot, with an altitude range of around 850 meters.

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.
