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.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
