Description

Join us on a night hike where we’ll reach the summit of Mount Pico. This is a unique experience that you’ll remember forever.

Mount Pico is the highest mountain in Portugal. Climbing it during the day is challenging enough – at night, it’s even more challenging. It’s awesome fun, though!

We’ll set off at around 2 am with our flashlights in darkness and start climbing. We’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure that you’re safe and having a good time. Around dawn, we’ll get to the top of the mountain. The stunning views of the sun rising over the ocean will be our reward for all our hard work. We’ll also get views of five surrounding islands.

This trip lasts around 10 hours in total, so you’ll be back at midday.

This is an experience of a lifetime. Book now, and we’ll be waiting for you!

If you’d prefer to climb Mount Pico during the day, be sure to check out our day trip, too.

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.
