Itinerary

Day 1: Jungfraujoch to Konkordia Hut

We meet in Grindelwald and take the Jungfrau train together. From the Jungfraujoch, we head to the summit of the Louwihorn or Trugberg, depending on conditions. In both cases, a magnificent descent takes us to Konkordiaplatz, a spectacular spot where four large glaciers meet.

From there, we climb to the Konkordia Hut via an impressive staircase of 900 steps fixed into the cliff. Don’t worry—it is very safe and comfortable.

Day 2: Finsteraarhorn Cirque & Wyssnollen Summit

We leave the hut early in the morning and head toward the Grünhornlücke via a pleasant climb. A new cirque opens up before us: that of the Finsteraarhorn.

A short descent and another optional climb take us to the summit of the Wyssnollen, which we reach on skis. We then enjoy a beautiful descent before climbing back up to the Finsteraarhorn Hut, our accommodation.

Day 3: Galmihorn Ascent & Conches Valley Descent

The route back down to the valley depends on conditions, but the most classic and scenic option is to climb the Vorderes Galmihorn (3,507 m), cross into the Conches Valley, and ski—under ideal conditions—up to 2,200 m of smooth spring snow, known in French as moquette (“carpet”).

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.
