Itinerary

Day 0: Meeting the day before

On the day before we start this expedition, we’ll have a meeting
where we’ll check our equipment, the last minute details and clarify any doubts that may arise.

Day 1: San Martin de los Andes - Lanin Volcano National Park

We’ll leave San Martin de los Andes at 7 am and go directly to the Lanin Volcano (100 km).

Once we arrive, we’ll check at the park ranger’s office and once we are all set, we’ll begin ascending all the way to the refuge area (2,400 m).

The hike up is calm and slow where we’ll ascend between 4 and 5 hours around 1,300 meters. Once in the shelters, we’ll rest and prepare for our summit attempt.

During this break, we’ll practice walking with crampons as well as self-arrest techniques with pickaxes.

We’ll enjoy an early dinner and then go to sleep.

Day 2: Summit Attack

We’ll start ascending around 3 am. Depending on the weather conditions and on the conditions of the volcano, it is possible that the first part of the ascent will be on rocks but thanks to our equipment we’ll be able to walk safely on the hard snow.

Depending on the group and the weather conditions, our summit attempt will take us between 5 and 7 hours and once at the summit, we will enjoy our well-deserved prize.

The descent will be as demanding as the ascent and will also require a lot of work and concentration. Once we are back at the shelters, we’ll take our overnight equipment and continue descending to the base where a vehicle will be waiting for us to take us back to San Martín de los Andes.

In total we’ll be walking between 10 and 13 hours of activity.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.
