Description

The perfect climbing tour for people who want to tackle their first 4000 plus meter peaks in the Alps, this 3 day trip is definitely an adventure worth enjoying. During this trip, we will be climbing to the summits of Weissmies (4,017m) and the Lagginhorn (4,010m). Both of these peaks are part of the 82, 4000 meter plus peaks found throughout the Alps.

While this trip is a great starter in the Alps, participants should still have prior climbing experience. You should also be in good physical condition because we will be spending approximately 8 hours per day climbing and ascending up to 1,300 meters per day as well.

After beginning and departing from Saas Grund, the hut base of our trip will be the Weissmieshutte (2,726m). Very comfortable, with fantastic views of the Alps, the hut also provides great access to both Weissmies and the Lagginhorn.

Scaling Weissmies is the easier of the two peaks to climb, as there is no real technical aspects. However, you should have experience with crampons. For the Lagginhorn, the climb is a bit more technical, but not too much. Thus giving you 2 great climbs that you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy.

Along with the two peaks you will be climbing on this trip, you will also get to visit Kreuzboden, and enjoy a wonderfully scenic train ride in the Alps.

Climbing to the summits of Weissmies and the Lagginhorn is a fantastic experience. And on this trip, you can reach both of those summits in just 3 days. To join me on this trip, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I also offer a 4 day trip that will take you to the summits of Obergabelhorn and Zinalrothorn.

Mountain Guide

I'm a professional UIAGM mountain guide who works all over the world and has an addiction for traveling and working in many different places. I live in the southern part of Bavaria/Germany in a beautiful region called Allgäu. It's the perfect location to explore the Alps.

I work as a guide year-round and I love spending time with my clients in the mountains. Fulfilling their dreams and sharing beautiful moments together is what motivates me to do a great job every day.

I have spent a lot of time in the mountains since I was a kid. Mountaineering, climbing, ice climbing and running have always been a big part of my life and I hope to continue for many more years.

I was part of the German National Ski Mountaineering Team and have competed in all major global races, including Pierra Menta, PDG, Mezzalama, Tour du Rutor etc. I participated in many Worldcup races as well. This experience was very important for my guiding career in terms of motivation, knowledge and experience!

I guide my clients all over the world. I'll take you anywhere you want to go and we can reach a mountaineering goal together.

Please get in touch with me if you're interested in one of my programs or want to discuss a particular goal you have in the mountains. It will be a pleasure to make you an offer and discuss projects and plans for the future.

Hope to see YOU in the mountains.

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.
