Description

Climbing Mount Eiger is one of my favorite ascents and I’m happy to take you up there.

I like it because of the panorama we have while climbing and from the top, at 3,970 meters high. The atmosphere is fantastic and the feeling unique while looking at the Mt Eiger North Face. The Mittellegi hut located on the ridge provides you with real mountaineering experience.

I propose here a traverse. We will climb Mt Eiger through the Mittellegi ridge and then go back through l’Eigerjoch and Mönchsjoch. This makes it much more interesting than just going up and down the same way.

The final ascent (day 2) will be a challenging and difficult day. We will be walking up to 10 hours. You should be physically fit and have solid mountaineering experience. You also need to have a good head for heights and some experience abseiling and walking on crampons.

I’ll take only one climber with me. Some of my friends, IFMGA mountain guides as well, would join if you are more than one.

If you wish, we could also spend some days before the ascent training and acclimatizing. This usually increases the success rate. We could climb Monch and/or Jungfrau, 2 good preparation ascents before going for Eiger.

I invite you to contact me if you are interested in this amazing mountaineering adventure. We will then discuss your mountaineering level and create a program adapted to your wishes.

Another option could be this 4-day guided ascent to Matterhorn. Check it out!

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!

2 jours fantastiques, avec un guide qui ressent bien jusqu'ou il peut pousser ses clients, qui explique beaucoup sur les techniques et la lecture du terrain (un grand plus!), et qui de plus est très sympa. A refaire chaque année! Bruno, Renaud et Mathieu

I often ski with Stephane. He is a very nice guide with a very good knowledge about security. He is always looking for the best spots which will combine excellent snow and safe conditions. He is very communicative and friendly.

Yann is a Young, Energetic and Experienced mountain guide. We have been Touring for 4 days in the Jungfrau Region with very mixed weather conditions. Yann showed me his abilities to lead under very tough weather conditions. Although always looking for Adventure and Challenges, even under the tough weather conditions, he proved his experienced as a guide and knowledge of the region. Safety is always first and from there we strive for our limits. We had an amazing 4-days and future adventures with Yann have already been discussed! Definitely the guide i want to rely on high up the mountains!

Après avoir du changer d'objectif initial à cause de la météo, nous étions parti pour le Zinalrothorn. Malheureusement, la roche était givrée et nous avons du faire demi-tour juste en dessous de l'épaule (4017m). Grâce à Yann qui connait bien la région, nous avons pu rattraper la journée en allant faire le sommet du Blanc de Moming par l'arrête E ou arrête du Blanc, très esthétique, bien raide et effilée. Malgré la déception due à la météo, nous avons malgré tout passer une journée incroyable en plein coeur de la Couronne Impériale. Je recommande vivement Yann et Jonathan. Vraiment sympas et très pros, on se sent en sécurité en toutes situations. Et leur connaissance du terrain permet d'envisager des alternatives de qualité. Merci a Explore-share.com de nous avoir mis en contact!

Once again it was a great experience and I was so happy to do it with Yann. It was only myself this time and we did a 3-day tour, came back on Saturday evening completely exhausted (which is a good sign!). This time he really challenged me and that's also what i was looking for. the first 4000m peak was climbed and it definitely taste to much more! The area is so impressive and spectacular!
