About the guide

Mountain Guide
Born in Montafon (Vorarlberg, Austria), I discovered the joy of climbing at 14. I later trained as a ski instructor and state-certified mountain and ski guide, which allowed me to combine my love of nature with my professional life.
During the winter, I mainly work in Arlberg and Montafon as a freeride and ski touring guide. In the summer, I take my clients up some of the most beautiful peaks in the Alps.
Climbing is very important in my home area. From Feldkirch, my home town, I am just minutes away from some impressive rocks. For the last 15 years I have spent almost every free minute on them, achieving more than 80 climbs in the 8a to 8c+ degrees of difficulty. Rock climbing has also taken me all over the world from Norway to Turkey and from Thailand to France.
Join me for a memorable experience in Vorarlberg.

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!

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.
