Description

For a full week, I would like to guide you on a trekking adventure in the Alps. I would like to show you how gorgeous this magical and world famous mountain range is. And I would like to show you that beauty from several high alpine spots that will leave you breathless. During this adventure, we will be trekking from Innsbruck, Austria to Merano, Italy and back again. Hence making this an international affair. But knowing no borders, the Alps will remain consistently stunning throughout the trip.

There is a long list of amazing highlights you will get to see on this trip. Just a few examples include.

The village of Vent
The gorgeous Windachtal
Ötztal Panoramaweg,
Our Lady into Val Senales (1.500m)

There are also several peaks you will not just get to admire, but to climb to their summits as well. Those peaks include the Peiljoch (2,676m) and the Kreuzspitze (3,450m). In the heights of these peaks you will get some truly spectacular views of the Alps, and it’s surrounding landscape. And every night, you will get to stay in a different mountain hut. Thus making sure you remain in the crisp air and clear skies of the mountains at all times.

Because we will be hiking from 2 to 8 hours during this trip, it is important that participants are in good physical condition.

Trekking through the Alps is an amazing adventure. And for 7 days I would like to lead you on a journey you will never forget, from Innsbruck to Merano. If you would like to join me on this expedition, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

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.
