Climb the highest mountain in Canada!
Enjoy a challenging 3-week mountaineering adventure.
Discover the remote and awe-inspiring Mount Logan.

Description

Mount Logan (5,959m) is the tallest peak in Canada. That fact alone makes it a glorious mountain to climb.

Canada’s highest peak is Mt Logan in the Yukon Territory, Kluane National Park, at 5960m. Join the Alpine Air Adventure Guides for a ski expedition of a lifetime. The expedition will begin by flying from Haines Jct. in a ski plane to base camp where we will begin acclimatizing by moving gear to progressively higher camps.

The King’s Trench route will be ascended which is the least technical route on the mountain and with the use of ski mountaineering equipment, we will be able to travel efficiently up and down. You must be a strong skier or split boarder.

With three weeks planned for climbing Mt. Logan, we will set up 5 camps up the Kings Trench route to accommodate acclimatization, and once high on the mountain the group will have their summit attempt. A high and very remote peak, there are prerequisites for this trip. If you have not skied or climbed with AAA, a detailed resume of past mountaineering experience will be required.

Mt Logan is not only high, but it is also a very cold place, surrounded by some of the largest ice fields on the planet and very close to the Pacific Ocean, it can be hit hard by weather. Experienced and serious inquiries only, please. A detailed trip itinerary and gear list with training progression recommendations will be sent to you upon deposit.

Even though Mount Logan is the biggest peak in Canada, it feels even bigger when you’re climbing it or skiing down it. And when you reach the top, it feels even bigger still. So send us a request, and enjoy this amazing 3-week adventure to the summit of this amazing mountain.

FAQs

What will the conditions be like on the mountain?

Conditions in the mountains vary widely due to many circumstances. Weather will often dictate the decision of the guide i.e. rain, snowfall, blue skies. The guides will make decisions with the weather and travel conditions in mind. This may require an alpine start to the day that typically is around 4 AM but may be earlier depending on the objective.

What will the group dynamics be like?

Not everyone travels at the same pace we will always travel relative to the pace of the slower group member. The guides reserve the right to make decisions on where the group will go and which route the group will climb.

Should I purchase insurance?

It is highly recommended to purchase medical insurance (if applicable) and traveler’s trip interruption insurance to cover travel costs and trip costs in the event you have to cancel your trip due to personal illness or injury, family emergency or other personal conflicts. If climbing within Canadian National Parks, the purchase of a park pass is required and this acts as mountain rescue insurance if needed.

What are some recommended accommodations near our adventure location?

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.

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.
