Description

Welcome to one of the most remote and wild places on Earth! Explore Sweden’s Arctic area on this week adventure, hiking across the National Parks of Lapland. Don’t miss the opportunity to trek through this unique and fantastic place.

Lapland is famous for being the home Sweden’s most beautiful Nature Reserves and National Parks, such as Sarek, Sjöfallet and Padjelanta, all of them named UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each one has its own charm and history, like Sarek, which is one of the oldest, established in 1909.

Here, we’ll venture into a land that has remained untouched by the loud noises and stress of the big cities. We will hike across paths scented with pure air and clear skies. And we’ll discover pristine lands where we’ll get to reconnect with nature our ourselves.

Also, we’ll visit iconic places such as the Saltoluokta Mountain Station. And we will get to learn about the local culture, meeting Sámi people and listening about their present and past history, and their cosmovision.

Moreover we will hike across different mesmerizing terrains. For instance, we’ll trek through the dazzling mountain plains of Padjelanta and the vast wilderness land of Sarek.

What’s more, this adventure is open for most people, as the daily hikes won’t be too long or challenging. But it also offers a wilder side, for those looking to explore beyond the set trails. Thus, we’ll uncover pathless spots and get the feeling of real explorers.

If you want to join this wonderful journey, all you have to do is pack your bags and request to book this trip. One of our expert guides will take care of the rest while you are here, making sure you have a marvellous time, and keeping you safe.

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.

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.
