Description

Located in the heart of Pennine Alps, in Valais, Switzerland, the Zinal glacier is an incredible thing to behold.

7 kilometres long, the Zinal glacier is the purpose of this day long adventure. We will visit, explore and enjoy this mammoth glacier. And unlike other glaciers which you typically only get to see the surface of, at Zinal, you get to literally delve into this gorgeous slab of ice.

With a sensational mountain looming above the glacier, you will feel small when you arrive. And when you enter, you will feel even smaller. Yet that won’t matter much, as you will be surrounded by beautiful glacial blue ice. The colours you will get to admire inside of the glacier are nothing short of spectacular.

While the Zinal glacier is the purpose of this trip, the trek to get there is also very impressive as the landscape of the Swiss Alps is second to none.

The uniqueness of being able to enter the Zinal glacier makes it a must see. And on this day long adventure, I would be happy to guide you through that incredible experience. To participate, all you have to do is send me a request.

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.
