Description

Iceland is a true natural paradise! It offers hundreds of square kilometers of complete emptiness and total stillness. Moreover, the mountains in the Tröllaskagi peninsula (Troll Peninsula) in the north of the island are in no way inferior to those in the Alps. Join me on this amazing ski touring program in Iceland!

Both skiers and snowboarders will get their money’s worth. This ski touring program in Iceland is an experience you can’t miss out on!

Our days will usually start at sea level. Depending on the day, we’ll ascend from 800 to 1250 meters. Afterwards, descents will bring us back to the deep blue fjords of the Arctic Ocean.

The trip includes 4 days of ski touring, one day of ski touring on the completely wild northeastern tip of Eyjafjörður and a day of sightseeing. We’ll take a boat to reach Eyjafjörður!

We will be staying in a cozy self-catering cottage by the sea. The house is superbly equipped. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining room, a living room and central heating. Towels and linens are provided. And there is also a small sauna and a hot tub!

This ski touring program in Iceland is an experience that every ski tourer should have at least once in their lifetimes. So join me on this incredible trip and discover everything this area has to offer. You won’t regret it!

Mountain Guide

My passion for nature and the mountains led me to become a mountain guide. I started my career as a pilot and, for a while, dedicated my life to university. However, over the years, my love for the mountains increased.

Since then, I have been working as a mountain guide, taking my clients on great ski and climbing adventures. I guide around my country and also around Europe: Spain, Italy, France, England, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Norway. I sometimes also go to Chile, Canada, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey.

As an IFMGA certified mountain guide, it is a pleasure for me to guide people from all over the world to these amazing destinations. My main objective is to have you enjoy a great time in the mountains while keeping you safe.

I invite you to have a look at the mountain programs and tours I propose. In the case you want to join one of them and if I'm not available, you'll be going with Alex or Rudi, IFMGA certified guides, friends of mine.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.

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.
