Description

Considered one of the most famous and most beautiful areas in all of Canada, Lake Louise attracts people from around the world. From the ski resort, to the hiking trails, to the lake itself, it is a region that impresses anybody who loves nature. It is also an area full of astounding peaks, several of which you can climb. One of those peaks is Mount Victoria (3,464m), which you can climb on this full day trip.

Our journey to the north summit of Mount Victoria will begin very early, at approximately 3:00 to 4:00 am. After we’ve left our lodging at Lake Louise, with the sun still slumbering, we will make our way past the famed Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House. After that, we will continue on until we reach the Victoria glacier. The traverse of the glacier will be challenging, but we will see to it you are properly guided every step of the way. Following the glacier, we will continue up snowy slopes until we reach the peak’s glorious summit. At the north summit, you can enjoy unmatched views hopefully just as the sun is rising. After you’ve taken in as much of the views as possible, we will then descend back down.

Climbing to the top of Mount Victoria is an arduous expedition. As a result, participants should have prior climbing experience and be in good physical condition.

Arguably one of the most photographed mountains in the world, Mount Victoria is a tremendous peak. And it would be our pleasure to guide you to the top of this peak in a single day. If that sounds like an adventure you want to be a part of, just send us a request.

We can also guide you to the top of Mount Sir Donald in British Columbia on this 3 day trip.

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.
