FAQs: Mountain Climbing in undefined

What should I know about Mountain Climbing Europe?

Complete with 10 major mountain ranges and more than 100 subranges, Europe is the perfect place to head for an incredible mountaineering experience.

Mountains of all shapes and sizes can be found in nearly every country, requiring different levels of skill and endurance to summit. This means the perfect mountaineering trip is waiting to be had by climbers of every aptitude.

Away from the popular and aforementioned spots, the Highlands in Scotland; the Carpahians in Romania; High Tatras in Poland and Slovakia; and the Dinaric Alps in Greece, North Macedonia and Bosnia, make incredible mountain climbing options.

Each one boasts diverse but incredibly beautiful scenery and makes for an unforgettable experience. Regardless of where you head, you’re in for a treat.

Why should I choose Europe for my Mountain Climbing adventure?

Stunning scenery

No matter where you head in Europe, as long as you are in the mountains, incredible scenery will surround you. From the snow-capped peaks of the sierra around Granada to the stark summit of the Stetind, there are too many incredible sights to see in one lifetime.

The Seven Summits

Climbing to the highest point on any continent is quite a feat. In Europe that means heading out to the Caucasus Mountains in Russia and summiting the mighty Mount Elbrus (5,642 meters). Its remote location and incredible prominence make it quite a challenging but incredibly rewarding climb.

Climb under the midnight sun

If your mountain climbing exploits take you up above the Arctic Circle and to the top of the world, there’s an added bonus. As the sun never sets, mountaineering can be done at very different times. Enjoy climbing under the midnight sun up any one of Norway or Sweden’s most iconic mountains.

What can I expect from the weather during my Mountain Climbing trip in Europe?

During the summer, Europe is generally warm and humid. The whole continent tends to experience temperatures in the mid-20s and above. Rain is quite frequent in the north, but less so in the south.

When is the best time to travel to Europe for Mountain Climbing?

June to September. Depeding on the region, some seasons may be longer or shorter than others.

A really excellent service provided by Mitja, who sourced the fantastic mountain guide Peter Jeromel. Both provided superb advice and we were able to create a challenging but achievable climb of Triglav in winter conditions.

We had an amazing time. Our guide gave us many information about the regions flora and fauna. Even though the sight at the very top wasn't so good this day, the climb up was vey exciting. Thanks a lot.

My guide Gigio was fantastic - couldn’t ask for a better guide to help me get to my first 4000m peak! Since the lift was closed for the season we hiked up from Cervinia at 2000m rather than starting the climb from 3500m which made it somewhat more interesting and taxing. My only complaint is the price: 960 euros for the guided climb plus 185 euros for two nights with half board at the mountain hut is a bit steep to say the least. I can only hope Gigio gets a significant portion of that.
