Description

Krkonoše, in English called Giant Mountains, are the highest mountains in Czech Republic. Not as large or high as the Alps but beautiful. Don´t expect sharp ridges or steep gully descents. In fact, it's more ski touring on rounded hills. But remember, due to its location the climate of Krkonoše can be rough.

I've prepared a 3-day ski tour during which we will cross the main ridge from the east to the west. A small Haute Route of Krkonoše. Of course we will try to reach the top of Snežka (1602 m), the highest peak. We will spend two nights in the mountain cabins.

The highlights of the expedition:
– The highest peak of Czech republic
– The silent mountains
– Czech cuisine and hospitality

I believe this trip would be something different. Something a bit "exotic". On that, I'm sure, you will remember forever. If you are interested, contact me for more information!

If you have 5 minutes, I recommend you to read this article Giant Mountains: Ski touring in Czech Republic. It describes the 4-day ski touring traverse of Swiss person who I helped together with a colleague of mine.

I've been skiing and climbing since my early childhood. I graduated in 2005 from the Univerzity of Hradec Kralove with a Master degree at the Faculty of Education. Since then I worked as a history and PE teacher. I was also running an Outdoor sport's club at that time, spending plenty of time climbing, skiing etc. with my students.

In 2009, I became a full time skiing and climbing instructor.

Licences:
2009 – APUL C ski instructor
2010 – APUL B ski instructor
2011 – APUL telemark and snowboard
2012 – ISIA Mark (International ski instructors association)

2013 – entered the UIAGM mountain guide education
2014 – passed the UIAGM Aspirant exam.

Spending your holiday with you would be my pleasure. Whether in winter on a ski tour (in Czech Republic or Austria) or in summer among the spectacular sandstone towers.

It will be, with no doubt, a very pleasant experience for all of us. I'm an easygoing, friendly and reliable person with a good sense for responsibility.

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.
