Description

During the winter, Austria turns into a white paradise. I invite you on a 4-day splitboarding tour at the Grossglockner, the highest peak in the country.

Rising 3,798 meters above the Adriatic Sea, the Grossglockner, also known as the “black mountain”, is part of the High Tauern range, the main chain of the Central Alps. This imposing peak offers amazing terrain for outdoor winter adventures.

This unforgettable 4-day trip combines mountaineering and splitboarding. Each day we will climb to a different spot and enjoy stunning splitboarding descents on top quality powder snow! We will be surrounded by the gorgeous snow covered peaks of High Tauern National Park! Furthermore, here, in the biggest nature reserve in the Alps, we will also find wonderful spots such as the Pasterze Glacier which is the longest in Austria and in the Eastern Alps (8,4km).

For this trip it is really important to be able to splitboard in all types of snow and to know some mountaineering skills such as crampons and ice-axe techniques. You also need to be physically fit as we will climb several hours per day!

So, if you are ready for this incredible splitboarding adventure in the Austrian Alps, please contact me. Come and discover the powder snow of Grossglockner mountain!

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.

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.
