Description

Glaciers are magnificent creations of nature that stand out not just for their beauty, but for their uniqueness. Let me take you to one of the most stunning glaciers in Europe: the Steindalsbreen in Norway.

On this 6 kilometers trek, I will take you to the Steindalsbreen glacier so you can admire its magnificence. And you’ll get to explore it, unveiling all the charming secrets it guards.

Glaciers are a nature’s treat. Being able to see one is an exclusive privilege hard to compare. But being able to walk through one is simply a one in a lifetime adventure you cannot miss.

As time passed, the ice flowed, and different deep crevasses were formed on the Steindalsbreen glacier. And you will get to venture through them! But don’t worry, I will make sure you are safe the whole time. Prior departure, we’ll go through some rules to ensure your safety and fun!

Also, the deeper we get into the glacier, you’ll start noticing stunning canyons that are mesmerizing. Additionally, you’ll encounter ice sculptures naturally formed, that seemed to have come out of an artist’s hand. It will be difficult to try to capture them on a picture. But I am sure you’ll get to take a piece of their beauty with every photo you snap.

Moreover the waterfalls and blue pools we will walk through are simply hypnotizing. The different shades of blue reflected on the ice, will compete with the fantastic blue skies you’ll see above you.

Do you want to explore this wonder of nature? Send me a request and I promise you will have an amazing time walking through the Steindalsbreen glacier in Norway. You can also check out this Piggtind ascent in the Lyngen Alps too, that I also guide.

Mountain Guide

I'm a local certified IFMGA mountain guide based in Narvik. I've always enjoyed being in the outdoors since my childhood when my parents introduced me to this world. I think it's important that I facilitate parents to be able to bring the same experience for their children too!

My career (!) in the mountains started at the age of 12, when I started climbing, in particular long alpine climbs on ice, snow and rock. I'd also been competing in ski racing and cross country skiing since I was little.

My passion for climbing took me to different corners of the world; to the Alps, Peru, USA and Patagonia. However, my heart was always set in Norway and it also reaffirmed how amazing the mountains in Norway were even in comparison to the great mountain ranges of the world.
My goal is to share these local beauties in a safe manner with the mountain lovers of the world.

I like the diversity of activities in the mountains and I like them all throughout the season, let it be mountain biking, skiing, climbing or hiking. I guide ski touring, alpine climbing, rock climbing and mountain biking.

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.

Valeriya

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.

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.
