Italy

I absolutely loved this tour with Renato, he is amazing! Can\'t believe he\'s been hiking and climbing Dolomites for 50 years. He was so fit, kind, funny, informative and a real pleasure to be around. Definitely will recommend this to all of our friends

This was the best adventure I have ever done. It was mesmerising! Thanks to Etienne who looked after us so well throughout. Especially our one and half year old baby. Had a great time, highlight of our trip to Italy! Thanks again!

Great trip! Our first ever mountain climb. It was HARD! We are hikers but had never been mountaineering. Ellis took great care of us. We greatly enjoyed our trek up grand Paradiso!!!!

Since Renato could not confirm our trip, his son Etienne (who is also a mountain guide) did a perfect job guiding us firstly on Via Ferratas and going all the way up to a pure rock climbing on the last day. We have gained exactly what we\'ve wanted from this trip and thanks to Etienne - even more! Etienne showed himself as a professional guide, who truly knows the mountain, who is able to quickly evaluate his client\'s capabilities and suggest appropriate routes in order to enhance the excitement, and who is willing to share his experience and knowledge to increase your degree of immersion!

Etienne and Gauthier were amazing. We had begun feeling a bit more comfortable on the wall prior to our scheduled excursion and Etienne was able to add a bit of difficulty during the day of our climb in order to challenge us (we asked for this). In addition, we felt safe, comfortable, and welcome the entire day. We were even given recommendations about how to make the most of the rest of our afternoon in the Dolomites once we had finished the climb. If you think this is something you\'d like to do, I recommend you don\'t second guess that feeling. Do it!

Etienne was a fantastic guide for our Via Ferrata experience. We had some previous climbing experience, and Etienne tailored our day accordingly. I will definitely be booking with Etienne on future excursions in the Dolomites!

Etienne was an amazing host. He tailored the experience to our skill level, as well as changing the location to better suit where we were coming from. He was encouraging, personable and provided helpful tips along the way. The via Ferrata itself was incredible — more than we were expecting and provided the most spectacular views. We loved it!

Marco was an excellent guide! Our communication before, during and after the tour was excellent which helped us be very well prepared and enjoy our adventure. Furthermore, he was very well prepared and supported us thought the tour. I\'d highly recommend this tour with Marco!

Ettiene took us on a wonderful trip in the stunning Dolomites. First day was rain and snow, Ettiene planned an alternative program in the First World War tunnels so we didn’t have to walk in the rain all day. The huts were nice and good food. The trip was a bit too challenging for our mother (65) but Ettiene helped her a lot by carrying her bag and securing her with a rope on the steep parts. Via ferratas were super cool, wonderful views. A tip for others: just go because it is great, but expect some serieus walking up is inclusief to get to the via ferratas.

Excellent experience. Customized to my needs. Very safe. Successful climb. Thanks!

Guide is very safety kind. but we very tired so can\'t Refugio. very enjoyed Piz Bernina vadnet Pers Thank you nice guiding !

Amazing guide, exactly what i expected. Very patient and gives u motivation when you need it.

Tobias was an absolutely fantastic guide for our adventure on the Matterhorn (his 85th ascent!), and could not recommend him more highly as a guide and person. We required a second guide for the actual matterhorn climb as there was two of us - instead of Tobias telling us to find someone, he fully arranged another guide that he knew and trusted for the trip up, which allowed us to focus solely on our climbing and training for the Matterhorn ascent. When a gear breakdown affected our training climb on the Breithorn half traverse, Tobias adapted the training and route to give us a bit more time and coaching with the skills needed to successfully summit the Horn. He kept expectations very realistic, and pushed us as positively and confidently as possible. As a result, we made great time to the Matterhorn summit and back. He was also in constant communication in the months leading up to the climb, and constantly provided helpful tips and advice. Even met us for a drink when we arrived in Zermatt to introduce ourselves and gain some familiarity before the climbing began! The climb was a trip of a lifetime, and would not have been possible without Tobias. I will be booking with him again for my next trip to climb in the alps.

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Etienne. Not only did we have a lot of fun but he also made sure that we completed the via ferrata safely. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing tour onto the Breithorn. Thanks to Silvia for organizing the tour in the appreciated flexible way to enjoy the trip at best weather conditions and thanks to Luigi taking perfectly care of us throughout the tour. Birgit and Eckhardt

The guide was amazing!

The via Ferrata with Etienne was a highlight of our Italy trip! He expertly led us up the mountain and we got to experience a unique adventure that we couldn’t have done be ourselves and added another level to our hiking adventure. Highly recommend.

Etienne made the day absolutely amazing for the 3 of us. His communication before hand regarding meeting place and time was excellent. After a brief discussion regarding our previous experience we decided on a medium category Via Ferrata route. This was challenging for us and was exactly what we wanted. Etienne gave us great instruction both at the foot of the climb and once on it with great tips and encouragement . He also pointed out places of interest to us. He really made us feel secure and confident to take on the challenge and we would highly recommend Etienne for anyone looking to try their hand at Via Ferrata.

Enrico was a terrific guide - super friendly, very knowledgable & a fun guy. He\'s also a good photographer to help capture some pics when you\'re up on the via ferrata! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in the area.

Tobias is an amazing guide. He guided me for the Riffelhorn and a Hornli Ridge 2 day Matterhorn climb. He knew the route well and made sure we were safe the whole time. He also shifted the days because the weather was bad for the original booked days. Best guide in Zermatt, I will definitely try to book him for all future trips in this region.

The Matterhorn trip was absolutely awesome. Tobias is an EXCELLENT GUIDE. I would absolutely recommand him. Answered all my questions prior to my trip in Zermatt, gave me a lot of tricks and advice the day before and during the trip. He was very good with me and also very flexible for the ascent date. Also, I was very pleased with my experience with explore-share. It was easy, straight forward and perfect. The customer service was also real good. Was exactly (and even more!) what I needed!

Proactivity, reactivity, efficiency and great customer services! A great experience

Etienne is a great alpine guide. We had a fun and challenging day and Etienne made sure we were all comfortable no matter the technical level. He was extremely personable, knowledgable, and competent. Gauthier ensured the arrangement was smooth

Everything was Great!!!

An amazing experience, and brilliant for first time climbing experience. Enough to get heart rates going!! Fabio our guide was excellent, felt very safe, plus his English was amazing! Would do it again!

Etienne was an excellent rock climbing guide and also thoroughly enjoyable company throughout our climb. We climbed Dibona Arete on Cime Grande together. A wonderful climb, although for me some challenging moves which I only completed because Etienne was taking great care of belaying me. I\'ve no hesitation in recommending Etienne. Very well organised by explore-share.com too.

Etienne guided us on a special via Ferrata that was tailored to our needs based on our location in the Dolomites and our experience as beginners. He was very patient and helped us understand how to use the equipment and the best ways to climb the Via Ferrata. It was not too difficult, but definitely not for those who are less fit or afraid of heights. When we reached the top we had a good lunch and he explained he history of the area and of the Ladin culture. He even told us a local folklore. After we were done we decided to stay on the mountain and hike more. Etienne gave us a great recommendation for a trail that brought us to an unforgettable mountain pasture. Overall an experience of a lifetime!

Dean was simply wonderful ! Sure footed and quick to notice when we needed a break. Conversation was easy and he was very pleasant and professional. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely hike with Dean again. What an enjoyable experience!!!

Nicola was the perfect guide! We had a wonderfull day, he guided us like the best.

This tour was a great experience, thanks to our guide Nicola. We got all the necessary information before the trip and felt well taken care of. It was a fantastic day, and we would like to recommend the trip to others.

An absolutely amazing time spent with Ivan and Filipo! Super experts, really fun to be with, and good guys all around. The trip was 100% memorable, well organised, safe, but challenged my kids, while building their confidence in a breathtaking setting. A HUUUGE thanks!

Nilcola was great, easy to speak with and most important very good guide. Gave instruction clearly and informed us as we went along. Great climb, reviewed some basics and also learned new skills. Thanks Dave T

I\'m writing this several days after I finished my via ferrata trip, and I can honestly say I haven\'t stopped thinking about how great of a trip it was. Working with Explore-Share was efficient and made the process quite easy. The trip I ended up doing was in Val di Fassa / the Rosengarten group, and I have to say the places I saw ticked all the boxes of an amazing Dolomites experience. Gorgeous meadows, wildflowers, stunning peaks, verdant valleys, perfect trails, wildlife too. And honestly, the element that brought all this together and allowed me to get the most out of the experience was my guide, Etienne Bernard. Etienne is a true professional. He listened to my wants and the planned and executed everything smoothly. Without Etienne, I would not have experienced 1/2 of the joy I did in the mountains. With Etienne at the helm, I was able to confidently focus on the scenery and hiking and climbing to maximize my enjoyment. With a smart and experienced guide like Etienne, I was able to push myself way beyond what I would have done without him. I highly recommend a via Ferrata trip in the Dolomites, and I highly recommend you request Etienne Bernard to guide you. You will be like me, savoring the memories of your time in the Dolomites!

Incredible adventure. The contact and the organisation with Peaks Hunter was perfect. The experience with the Guide (Claudio) was also perfect. Very professional guide, perfect French speaker. It was a pleasure to spend those two days with him. Reaching the summit without him would have been impossible. (Do not believe in the Youtube videos over the Lion Ridge, they are not a good representation of the journey, much harder but way more nice) Thank you Peaks Hunter.

I think it was great. It was hard but good. Did not reach the summit becase bad weather. The guide was great.

We highly recommend Etienne for your outdoor adventures. We were really impressed with how he worked to customize our trip based on our specific skill set and interests. Etienne is friendly and knowledgeable!

Really enjoyed the Pan Di Zucchero, perfect for beginner climbing like myself. Marco was a great guide, lovely to chat too and I felt really safe during the climb.

We had a great experience with Giulia on Gran Paradiso. Ended up climbing La Trescenta and only doing the glacier below Gran Paradiso - my decision - the kids were not as strong as I had hoped and the 11 hours for the full summit would not have worked. However we had a great few days. Can’t wait to do another trip and will absolutely ask for your help again.

We had a fantastic Bodenga 2 tour. It was so much fun that we right away wanted to do it again, although, as outstanding tours usually are, it was a little exhausting - but in a good way! I have to restrain myself with praise for Ivan and Philippe; they are a truly professional, very very experienced and great fun team to be around. At no point, any of us felt unsafe, even we couldn’t always imagine what was coming next. We will definitely look into Ivan’s other tours and hope to book again soon !

We had a blast, 3 trips in 2 days with Etienne. He took good care of us, we had many laughs during the via ferrata and at rifugio Lagazoi. Also, we never felt any rush, Etienne took good time with us. The Norwegians give Etienne the best recommendations👍👍😊

Etienne is a very experience local guide who knows the area very well. He guided my boyfriend and I for 2 days. The first day, we went on a 13 multi-pitch climb up Tre Cime di Lavaredo and Etienne guided us up the mountain efficiently and safely while also taking time to explain to us some basic mountaineering concepts and our surrounding mountains. We started at 7am and was rappeling down by 3pm as he had originally estimated. The 2nd day was a more casual single pitch sport day where Etienne gave us some private instructions on how to efficiently climb outside using more legs and less arms. We are very happy with the service Etienne provided, he had great communication skills and spoke great english. We would consider him for future guided trips in the area again.

This was one of the highlights of our visit to the Dolomites. We are a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and are not experienced climbers. Etienne was supportive and helpful throughout and led us to the top of Punta Anna. It was a little more challenging than we expected but he was patient and took extra time and care to help us reach the peak. The views were totally worth it, and the expeience is something we talk about as a family that was amazing. I would recommend Etienne to everyone!

Our guide was Daniele. He was helpful, and we felt safe with him. He had good knowledge about the area, and made the via ferrata a truly fun experience
