Description

Join me for a 2-day ice climbing course with the magical backdrop of the Northern Lights in Lyngen! Learn the skills you need to enjoy this exciting activity or put your abilities in use.

Lyngen is my home base. It is a municipality in the area of Troms, in Northern Norway. The courses take place near the village of Lyngseidet.

I offer two different programmes in this beautiful region in Norway. You can either join me on a 2-day basic course, where you learn the basics of ice climbing on top-rope, gear and basic techniques. Or, if you have previous ice climbing experience, you can join me on a 2-day course aimed to master multi-pitch climbing as a second. Also, if you feel comfortable enough, you could lead climbing on easy ice (grade 3).

Please note the courses can be tailored to your wishes, level and time available. In order to join the basic course you need a basic fitness level and it would also be good if you had some outdoor experience. For the multi-pitch climbing course you also need to be in good shape and, most important, you need to have previous experience.

Lyngen is the perfect area to learn ice climbing. We find many fantastic icefalls in this region. Besides, the Northern Lights are truly spectacular.

So send me a request and join me on this ice climbing course in Lyngen! I will be happy to be your guide and help you make the most out of this experience in Northern Norway.

Mountain Guide

I am an IFMGA mountain guide, originally from southern Finland. However, I have spent most of my time since 2010 in Northern Norway.

Completely in love with the scenery, nature, culture and the atmosphere, I'm spending as much time as possible exploring the mountains; be it on skis, climbing (summer/winter/alpine/ice&rock), mountain biking, kayaking or just hiking. Without being an expert in any particular one of these fields, my strength lies in finding the right adventure for the day, and spicing it up with local knowledge and the understanding of nature!

Needless to say, my main focus is to provide safe trips regardless of conditions and appropriate for participants' previous experience.
As it is in Scandinavian guiding tradition in general, I always try to teach my guests something!

I'm traveling quite a bit, a lot in Northern Norway and a bit in the mountains further away. My home base is in Lyngen, especially in the winter, but my home mountains extend from here to all the way to the Stetind area south of Narvik, including Lofoten, Senja and Kvaløya.

I'm guiding fluently in five languages: English, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and German, et mon France est un peu primitives.

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.

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.
