Join me for an incredible ski touring adventure on one of the highest active volcanos in Europe. Mount Etna‘s peak is located at 3,343 meters and is also the largest volcano in the continent! This guided ski touring trip overseeing the Mediterranean Sea is one you’ll never forget.
Mount Etna, Sicily offers endless possibilities for all types of skiers. The incredible mild weather, compact snow, stunning views, and warm Sicilian hospitality, make this an incredible skiing destination. We’ll even get to savor the incredible Sicilian cuisine.
We’ll meet at Piano Provenzana and ski for 6 hours. We’ll go up to Summit Craters through the North or South side. If we choose the south side, we can take advantage of the cable car, which will take us up 2,500 meters in a few minutes. Whichever path we choose, once at the summit we’ll be able to visit the central crater. This divides the area into Bocca Nuova, Voragine, Southeast Crater, and North-East Crater. The views from above are spectacular!
The descent will take place on the Quarantore canal. During our day, we’ll get to see places that were affected with the last eruption of the volcano.
I can guarantee you’ll love this unique ski touring adventure. Send your request! I would love to guide you in this beautiful hidden gem.

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.
