Get ready for a spectacular 5-day adventure in the glaciated area of the Jostedalsbreen, Norway. Join us for a unique experience and enjoy the breathtaking glacier tongues as you learn the basics for safe glacier travel.
This trip will take place in Nigardsbreen, Tuftebreen and Jostedalsbreen, three impressive areas in Norway. On this course, we’ll teach you how to use crampons, an ice axe, rope as well as all the necessary safety techniques to consider while hiking on glaciers. Additionally, we’ll also review important topics such as tour planning, meteorology, maps and compass, and how to assess alpine dangers. After this course, you’ll be able to hike on glaciers by yourself and discover new areas.
Even though we’ll be reviewing basic mountaineering concepts, we recommend this trip to participants with some experience in the mountains. It is also important for participants to be in a good physical shape and be at least 17 years old.
So book your trip now and explore this dazzling Norwegian corner while becoming an experienced glacier hiker.

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.
