Description

Join us on this 2-day mountaineering training on the slopes of Iztaccihuatl (5230m), the third highest mountain in Mexico. This mountain traverse is perfect for people  training to climb the highest mountains in the country.

The itinerary is designed so that you can train your body for a good acclimatization to altitude, so that you are able to feel how it reacts to the height and to the mountain environment. This is a great opportunity to train your body if you are looking to climb higher mountains in the future.

On the first day we will start with a hike on the slopes of the Iztaccihuatl where we will hike along forests, rivers and waterfalls, reaching the Altzomoni refuge (4,200m), acclimatizing our bodies to the altitude. 

We will stay overnight at the Altzomoni refuge, in order to continue with the acclimatization. The next day, we will go up from the refuge until we reach 4,780 meters above sea level. We will have lunch there and then we will go back down and enjoy a well deserved meal.

If you want to join us on this mountaineering trainingon  the Iztaccihuatl slopes, just send us a request and book your trip! Come enjoy a great mountaineering experience in Mexico.

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.
