The Stubai - Arlberg Freeride Crossing is an incredible journey through the heart of the Alps, from the Stubai Glacier to Arlberg**.** Travel light and focus on the descents, using the lifts of the well-known ski areas to access the best lines. Along the way, we will find untracked powder in the backcountry of the glaciated main ridge.

Have you ever wondered if you could ski down the untracked back side of a freeride area? Our tour takes you there. Cross Tyrol in 6 days along the main ridge of the Alps, minimizing the climbs and maximizing the scenic and skiing experience.

Experience some of the best slopes as you cross incredible locations such as Stubai Glacier, Sölden, Pitztal Glacier, Kaunertal Glacier, Ischgl, and the Arlberg. We'll find the best lines along the glaciated main ridge of the Alps and even spend some time in Italy.

Travel in alpine style, focusing on the essentials: untracked powder in the backcountry of the massive ski areas. This is pure alpine free riding in a small group, with a new area to explore every day and new descents to discover.

This tour is for experienced freeriders who can handle all types of snow. You will need to be comfortable with steep terrain and challenging snow conditions. As is typical of ski touring, you will also have to climb some, but you will be skiing much more than you climb.

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

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.
