Description

Dominating the heart of Austria are towering rugged mountains of the eastern Alps.

The region of Ausseerland is a rugged section of the historic region of Salzkammergut, where you’ll find UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Located here is Tauplitz, part of the Styrian Salzkammergut, that features sensational snow conditions. This is one of the reasons why Tauplitz has such a long and rich skiing history.

It is home to a quality cross-country ski trail that zigzags along blankets of snow that reach 4 meters deep.

Conditions are so good that you’ll be carving out your own tracks in the dense snow while the sun shines down from morning to evening.

Other regions of exploration include Wölz Tauern, a subrange of the Austrian Central Alps that is home to impressive peaks such as Grosser Bösenstein (2,448 meters), Greim (2,474 meters) and Rettlkirchspitze (2,475 meters).

During the weekend ski tour you’ll pass frozen lakes, summit stunning alpine peaks such as Almkogel (2,116 meters) and Lämmertörlkopf (2,090 meters), and breath in the crisp alpine air while rushing down the steep and winding slopes.

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.
