Description

Come and join me on an 7-day journey on the ice falls of Rjukan, Norway.

Throughout this week long adventure, you will get to climb a number of incredible ice falls throughout Rjukan. In fact, there are over 150 ice falls to choose from. There are challenging climbs, easy climbs and intermediate climbs. As a result, this trip is open to people from a beginner to advanced skill level. And due to the sheer volume of available ice falls, we will be able to pick, explore and enjoy the absolute best ice falls in the area.

On the first day of the trip, after you arrive in Oslo, we will rent a car and make our way to Rjukan. After an initial briefing, you will get to relax and rest in your lodgings. After that, right up until the final day of the trip, you will be ice climbing on the glorious, multi-sized, even multi-colored, ice falls. And on the final day of the trip, we will transfer you back to Oslo, where you will then fly back home, wherever that may be.

While this trip is open to people of all skill levels, all participants should be in good physical condition, as ice climbing can be a physically demanding activity.

Not only is Rjukan an absolutely spellbinding place to behold, it is also a paradise for ice climbing. To experience 7 magical days of that ice climbing, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

Aspirant Guide

Aspirant IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide
My name is Marco Bigatti, nicknamed “Il Biga”. I was born in Milan, I started climbing in 2006 and since then I have not been able to tear myself away from the vertical world. I turned my passion into a job, becoming Mountain Guide in October 2017, the first mountain guide that lives all the year in Sardinia.
I experience the mountains from a 360-degree point of view. I have practiced all disciplines of climbing in the Alps: rock climbing, alpinism, ice climbing , as well as ski mountaineering.

In addition to alpinism, I love pure sport climbing, seeking out the best climbing sectors throughout the entire Alpine range. But it was in Sardinia that I found a paradise of crags, in particular in the south-west of the island, where you are able to enjoy all types of climbing throughout the year.
I offer climbing day or trips for beginners or experienced climbers who need a guide, multipitch packages for those who want to live an alpine experience, climbing courses, all-inclusive climbing holiday with accommodation in our nice B&B by the sea, guided trekking and mountain biking tours.

Man

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.
