Description

I am happy to invite you to this 6-day ski traverse through the Bernese Oberland Haute Route.

Come with me to the Bernese Oberland and let’s ski on huge glaciers, facing the wildest skiing spots. We will cross incredible mountains like the Jungfrau, Mönch and the Eiger. And as if this was not enough, we will also reach part of the largest glacier in the Alps: the Aletschgletscher.

The Bernese Oberland is the highest region of the canton of Bern, located in the south of the canton and including the areas of Lake Thun, Lake Brienz and the Bernese Alps. The immensity of the glaciers and landscapes of the Bernese Oberland are really memorable.

During this 6-day ski adventure we will sleep and rest in 4 incredible high mountain huts. Their surrounding landscape is spectacular, with breathtaking views of glaciers and high summits.

If you want to join me it is necessary to have a good skiing technique as well as an excellent physical condition. This way you can enjoy and take advantage of this amazing ski traverse.

If you are looking for quietness in a massif with mountains over 4000 meters and spectacular descents this is the perfect tour for you.

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.

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.

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.
