Description

Join me in this amazing adventure and let's climb the Jungfrau (4158 m), and the Mönch (4107 m), in the Bernese Alps!

The Jungfrau is a fantastic climb of a glacier with an exposed end. It is covered with snow all year. The climb takes place on the Aletschgletscher, the largest glacier in Europe. We will enjoy spectacular views from the summit! The regular route is rated ZS or PD+II-, Ice 35-40 degrees.

On the first day, we will meet in Grindelwald. After a picturesque train ride up to the Jungfraujoch with breathtaking views of the Alps, we will climb the Mönch! We will spend the night in the Mönchsjoch refuge.

The following day, we will climb the Jungfrau! From the hut, we will start hiking to the Aletschgletscher, also called the "Sporn". We will ascend through a a rocky ridge to the "breakfast place". From there, we will only find snow to the top of the mountain.

Although the only really exposed sector starts at the Rottalsattel, but we will find iron belay poles every 50 metres. They will provide safety up and down. Once in the summit, we will enjoy a spectacular panoramic view! Then, we will start our down climb to Grindelwald.

It will take us about 4-5 hours to climb up. Also, about 4 hours to down climb to Jungfraujoch.

So contact me if you want to join me in this Jungfrau guided ascent! We can start planning your adventure right now! And you can also check my Mount Eiger guided climb!

Price details

The first peak is a small, very alpine peak. It's good for your acclimatization but you should already be fit. It requires 4 hours of active attention, walking and climbing with a crampon, ice, or snow ridge. It is a summit for a real introduction to mountaineering. The altitude is 4110m.
The second peak is of greater magnitude. It requires around 7 hours of walking, a little less technical than the Mönch but it is a longer trip. The altitude is 4158m. We return to Jungfraujoch around midday. The additional costs for the round trip by train to the Jungfraujoch with half board for you and me are around 150. I take cash. You can find train prices on sbb.ch ( around $360) This summit is ideally done from midMay to the end of September but it is still possible until the end of October if the conditions are good. This summit is done using skis from March to May. You must have your own equipment or rent it on-site.
See you in the mountains.

About the guide

Sylvain

Mountain Guide

Ever since I was born in 1977, I was motivated by a force of freedom. As an adolescent I sought to plunge deep into myself; to know and find myself. I found an answer in the wide open spaces, deserts, journeys and bike rides across thousands of kilometers that nature offers.

Nature is a way to connect with oneself, others and the 'rest'. Sharing these amazing experiences makes them so deep that they defy the very mountains, as we vibrate with a real and powerful energy. Through flora and fauna, through plain and summit: nature teaches and shows us the way.

I live at Jura Neuchâtel. I am married and a father of two small children. I have also been responsible for mountaineering camp and have received a "J + S" recognition (Youth and Sports). I will happily guide you across these mountains.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
