Description

An unforgettable adventure, this 8-day ski mountaineering expedition will take you to 7 different summits in the Alps of the Bernese Oberland.

A definite highlight of the Swiss Alps, the Bernese Oberland is absolutely stunning. The views, like the descents, are nothing short of amazing.

Beginning in Grindelwald, this trip will take you to the following summits: Virgin (4,158m), Monch (4,107m), Gross Fiescherhorn (4,049m), Behind Fiescherhorn (4,025m), Gross Greenhorn (4,044m), Finsteraahorn (4,274m) and Aletschhorn (4,193m). You will also get to admire the amazing Aletsch glacier at the end of this magnificent trip as well.

We will be staying in several mountain huts during this expedition. Each hut, which includes the Kondoria hut and several others, will provide you with the perfect place to recuperate and rest. Moreover, the evening views of the night sky above from the alpine huts are incredible.

Due to the length and arduous nature of this trip, it is important that participants are in good physical condition. You should also have prior ski mountaineering experience as well.

By the end of this trip you will doubtlessly be exhausted. However, the memories of the views, descents and overall experience will make that exhaustion well worth it. If you would like to join me on this 8-day adventure in the Bernese Oberland, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

Peter

This was a great trip and Explore Share made finding the right trip super easy. Our guide was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced and willing to teach us the skills we would have needed to climb the Matterhorn. Unfortunatly, the conditions were not right to climb so our guide recemmended another trip which was still a great experience and lots of fun.

Emma

Very user friendly platform with timely responses from Explore Share representatives. The trip itself with Tom from Alps Adventures was awesome and ensure that we had an experience that was 100% what we wanted. Recommend both the platform and the guide. Thanks to all for arranging and delivering so well.

I had am amazing time during the 1-day off-piste training course at Hoch-Ybrig. Urs, our main mountain guide, was very helpful in answering my queries before the course, and Lupe from explore-share was helpful in selecting the course. We had 3 groups under Urs, Mario and Patrick, and I was in the group with Patrick. He gave us a lot of nice tips and individualized video analysis. He made a special effort to convey everything in English, since I don't know German. All the participants were very helpful and friendly too! The course is good value for money as skis are included for the weekend in the course price.
