Description
I am offering an unforgettable mountain outing around one of the most beautiful alpine areas in Europe. It is a 6-day hiking experience connecting the Algäu Alps and the Silvretta Alps, in the countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
We will meet in the Bavarian town of Oberstdorf (Germany) and take a bus to Kleinwalsertal, a high valley surrounded by the Allgäu Alps, located at the east of Vorarlberg, Austria. A few hours later we will be crossing the Hochtann Mountain Pass and taking another bus to Zug, in Switzerland.
The following days we will hike around Stierloch (2,009 m), with incredible views of the peak Roggalspitze (2,673 m) and the lake Spuller See. We will get to the summit of several peaks such as Kaltenberg (2,686 m), and enjoy unique views of imposing mountains such as Patteriol (3,056 m).
The highlight of this tour is climbing the Piz Buin (3,312 m) the most popular peak of the Silvretta Alps, on the border between Switzerland and Austria. The route is a gentle glacier and rock tour. At the top, you will see the impressive panorama that stretches from the high Tyrolean mountains to the Tödi.
The trails are usually well recognizable, but partly steep. You should have hiking experience and be sure-footed. Furthermore, you have to be prepared for 7-hours walks at an altitude of 1,200 meters.
During the trip, you will eat delicious food in the most charming and comfortable huts around the Alps. Some of the refuges where we will stay are Kaltenberg, Konstanzer and Wiesbadener.
So, what are you waiting for? If you want to live a real hiking adventure going from the Allgau Alps to Piz Buin, please contact me! Let me guide you on this trip that you won’t forget!

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 !"
