Description

South Sister (3,157 m.) is the third tallest peak in Oregon. In this day trip you will hike to the summit of this amazing volcano under expert guidance.

The Three Sisters are three peaks of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a section of the Cascade Range, in western North America. South Sister is the highest of them and the most popular for mountaineering adventures. It is also the youngest in geologic terms.

This day tour involves a 6-miles hike in a strenuous terrain. The traverse starts at the Devils Lake and passes by Lewis, Clark, and Prouty Glaciers. The Prouty is the largest glacier in Oregon, with an area of 1 square kilometer.

The top section of South Sister is exceedingly steep and rugged. Furthermore, we can find large sections of snow, so trekking poles and traction may be needed.

However, the reward is great. Up on the summit of South Sister, a broad, snowy crater with a small lake, you will have a panoramic view of half the state of Oregon, with its imposing peaks and its beautiful glaciers and lakes.

Só, if you want to reach the top of the tallest of the Three Sisters Volcanoes in this day outing, please contact us! Let’s enjoy together one of the most beautiful hikes in Oregon: South Sister!

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.
