Description

For those who love vast, natural landscapes, the Canadian territory of Yukon and province of British Columbia are absolute paradises. Hence why this week long hiking adventure on the famed Chilkoot trail, which traverses both the Yukon and British Columbia, is such a magnificent opportunity.

Beginning and ending in the Yukon capital city of Whitehorse, this trek on the Chilkoot trail will show you all that makes Northwest Canada so extraordinary. On the trail there is an endless collection of rivers, creeks, peaks, pastures, valleys and ridges. As a result, you will see an entire world that constantly shifts from step to step and minute to minute. Thus stimulating all of your senses, over and over again throughout each day.

The list of highlights you will get to enjoy during this trip is incredibly long. It includes amazing spots like Finnegan’s point, Lake Lindeman, Lake Bennet and much more. Also, for a large portion of the trip you will be camping under the stars, so those highlights span both night and day.

Wonderfully isolated, full of coastal rain forest, and populated by an array of beautiful wild life, this trek on the Chilkoot trail will take you where few ever venture. And to give you some historical context, you will be following in the footsteps of stampeders looking for riches over a century ago. There are even remnants of their journeys still present on the trail itself!

It is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition because we will be trekking from 3 to 10 hours per day, covering distances from 8 to 13 kilometers.

Trekking on the Chilkoot trail is an unforgettable experience. If you would like to enjoy it for yourself, just send us a request.

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.
