Description

The picturesque Lofoten Islands of Norway are scattered just north of the Arctic Circle, sandwiched between the Vestfjord and the Norwegian Sea.

Majestic mountains and steep Nordic peaks characterise the Lofoten Islands, which are surrounded by deep blue fjords.

The wide variety of terrain offers an endless playground for skiers of all levels of ability. From the gentle slopes that seem to fall into the sea to steep channels climaxing in the highest point in the archipelago, Higravstinden, standing at 1,146 meters.

We’ll explore the area between the sea and mountains, offering incredible and unparalleled views as we ski tour from a comfortable lodge.

Our springboard lodge is located in the harbour of Henningsvaer. It offers a great contrast of being one of the oldest fishing houses in the village while containing a modern interior.

Consisting of 2 living rooms, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms, the lodge offers extreme comfort as well as possessing a sauna and wifi which is the perfect combination to recharge in style.

And the majesty of the mountains aren’t the only things on show. Experience the elaborate Norwegian cuisine each night after a tough day of skiing. Based on locally-sourced ingredients, we’ll sit back and enjoy a 3-course menu full of flavour.

I have been a mountain guide since 2004. I started out as a mountain leader and now I am a mountain guide.
I love the mountain in general, but what I prefer is climbing. I have traveled to many countries around the world to climb: Morocco, Jordan, United States and Greece.
With customers, I really like mountain skiing, climbing peaks and skiing in good snow!
I hope to share the mountain with you, convey my passion and have fun with your company!

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.

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.
