Description

Stretching out across the Austrian states of Salzburg and Upper Austria are the stunning Salzkammergut Mountains.

The sunny slopes here offer incredible room for skiing exploration. Dramatic alpine scenery, with steep mountains and subalpine lakes forming the region.

We’ll focus on the rugged backcountry that surrounds Gosau, a small town sat on rich green pastures, once fixed towards timer and salt production.

Fragrant forests carpet the slopes with scattered crystal-clear mountain lakes. This was once the royal retreat for the Habsburg monarchy, now it’s premium wilderness for all.

Our area of exploration may be the Gosaukamm mountain range or the Osterhorn mountain group. We’ll assess the weather conditions and follow where the best snow lies.

During our days of ski touring we’ll plan for an altitude range of 1,000 meters above sea level.

Reach summits including Seekarwand (1,664 meters) and the Gamsfeld, which at 2,027 meters is the highest peak among the Osterhorn group.

Then discover incredible descents down fast and winding routes flanked by some of the most serene scenery in the Alps.

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.
