Description

The picturesque scenery of the Bernese Alps is the perfect setting for your next via ferrata adventure. The great rocks that build the peaks in the area, are enough to tempt anyone to climb them.

That is why I suggest you to try this exciting steel protected climbing route, also known as via ferrata. Various 1-day climbing tours in Gstaad, Grindelwald, Engelberg, and others.

Then, last but not least , the totally impressive Daubenhorn (2942 m), which has the longest via ferrata in Switzerland!

That alone should be enough to attract the adventurous climbers, but there is more. You will have the chance to test your limits knowing you are safe and guided by a professional. We could climb the superb Eiger-Rotstock, at 2663m, with a beautiful descent over the west face of the Eiger mountain or Kandersteg, known as one of the most beautiful and spectacular via ferratas of Switzerland.

This experience is designed for those with prior experience in climbing in high and exposed situations, and a good physical condition.

If you think you are up for a new challenge, you might want to try this. You can book it right now.

Mountain Guide

I grew up in the mountains and have always loved being up there. I always knew I wanted to become a mountain guide and make a living out of this life-long passion. I've bee a certified mountain guide since 1989 and love showing my friends and clients what I think is the best in life.

I'm based in Frutigen, in the Bernese Oberland. During the summer, I mainly guide rock climbing here, in other parts of Switzerland (Wallis, Grisons...) and in some amazing spots, including southern France. During the winter and spring, I spend most of my time on my skis, in the Swiss Alps but also in Piemont, Austria, Arlberg...where I love to take my clients.

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.

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.
