Situated in the north section of the Wapta Icefield and very near the Peyto Glacier, Peyto Hut is an alpine hut inside the Banff National Park. This is the oldest national park in Canada and is located in the Rocky Mountains, one of the most popular destinations for snow and mountain activities in the country.
On this opportunity, I invite you to combine an alpine course with ascents on the Wapta Icefield. The purpose of the course is to help you improve your alpine skills and prepare you for future experiences in the mountains. I’ll teach you what I know and give you useful advice.
During these 3 days, our base will be the Peyto Hut and we’ll explore the beautiful areas surrounding the Wapta Icefield. We’ll arrange the accommodation and meals for you and you’ll share the experience with other participants in a group trip. Please, consider that it’s important to have a good level of fitness for this trip.
So, do you find this course at the Peyto hut interesting? Then, don’t hesitate to send the request and book your place. We’ll start making all the necessary arrangements right away.
Another good option could be this 4-day mountaineering trip in Valley of the Ten Peaks. Check it out!

Growing up in the rather flat country of the Netherlands, I never knew what I was missing till visiting the Canadian Rockies in my early 20s. We live in the small town of Exshaw, surrounded by tall limestone peaks. I'm a passionate alpine climber, working and recreating around Banff, Lake Louise and the Icefields Parkway. I'm certified as an apprentice Alpine Guide with the ACMG.
The Canadian Rockies are most known for their spectacular (and reliable!) ice and mixed climbing. Whether you're hoping to tick one of the hard classics or learn to swing an ice tool, we have it all!
Please contact me if you're interested in both a guided and educational mountain experience, in the Canadian Rockies and beyond!

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 !"
