3 Days

Jun - Sep

Description

The Wiwannihorn cirque offers many multi-pitch routes for beginner and advanced climbers! In a magnificent setting, facing the Mischabels and Mont Rose, you can learn or perfect your techniques. The Wiwanni hut, our accommodation, is a little paradise perched above Viège, at 2740m!

The Wiwanni climbing site has currently more than 100 routes perfectly equipped in the 3 areas of short climbs and the magnificent Wiwannihorn cirque. The latter has more than 30 large routes and is one of the most prestigious climbing sites in Switzerland.

If you simply want to learn climbing, like how to ensure a partner and tie in knot in a correct way, the place is great for this as well. The program is fully adaptable to your wishes.

Below this description, you’ll find an example of a 3-day climbing itinerary. As an alternative, instead of making a second long route it’s also possible to do an edge race on the Wiwannihorn.

I will take up to 4 people with me. If you are more, another IUAGM guide from the team will join us.

Are you interested in climbing in the Wiwanni area? Then please contact me! I can teach you the basics or help you improve your skills. Either me or another guide from the team will supervise you.

Mountain Guide

Attracted by the mountains since childhood, I started with climbing and alpinism. I then discovered my passion for ski touring.
I started a Young&Sport instructor training to lead young people in the mountain, accompanied by guides. This experience inspired me to become a mountain guide, and I got certified in September 2015.
I work in a guide's office with other guides friends as Stéphane, Raphael, Christian and Jean-Luc, mountain leader.
What I love the most: make people enjoy, allow them to discover a region, laughing, everything in a safe way.
So if there's something you wish, if you dream of exploring a region or country, don't hesitate to contact me.
See you soon for new discoveries!

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.

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.
