Description
Come and enjoy the unique experience of Glacier Skiing in the Swiss Alps in Zermatt.
There is something magical and poetic about Glaciers. They are so much more than just vast slabs of Snow and Ice. Instead, they restlessly lay like ancient memories of the enormous Mountain Peaks above. And they are willing and waiting to reveal themselves to anybody who wishes to explore them. And on this trip, you will get the chance to not just explore them, but glide on their snowy, windblown surfaces with Skis on Your Feet.
This trip revolves around unpredictability because there is nothing predictable about Glaciers. They are constantly moving, shrinking and growing, while whistling beneath the surface. Which only adds to their mystery and allure. However, the biggest advantage of that is the adventure of Skiing on them will never be the same. It will always be different. Depending on the Weather and the Conditions, you will have an array of choices as to which Glacier or how many Glaciers you wish you to explore and ski on. The Glaciers you can choose from include the Unterer Theodulgletscher, the Gornergletscher, the Fingelgletscher, Schwarztor and many more. Also, all of the Glaciers around Zermatt are easy to get to by Cable Car.
You don’t require Glacier Skiing Experience on this trip. But you do need to have adequate Skiing Experience. Also you will need to be able to walk between 30 and 90 minutes in Skiing Boots in One Go.
So come, let me guide you on an incredible journey through Zermatt’s gorgeous Glaciers. Where you can see deep into their souls through Crevasses, and marvel at their Ice Towers, while skiing along their powder topped, icy surfaces.
I’ll be awaiting your message.
And if you want to ski on one of the many peaks in Zermatt, you can also join me on this Guided Tour.

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!

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.
