Come follow me on this ski mountaineering adrenaline-pumped three-day adventure in the stunning Mount Olympus, Greece!
Get ready for a unique experience in Mount Olympus. Our trip will include a wide variety of activities. We’ll climb with skis on our backs, head up to the 40th slope, try night skiing, climb and then ski downhill, and learn to find the best snow quality!
This trip is perfect for advanced skiers with off-piste experience, in good physical shape, that have done ski mountaineering before and know how to use crampons. I have a lot of experience in the mountains and I will teach you all the basic mountain safety techniques, such as how to recognize possible avalanches, find victims with ARVA, use of rope and piolet, and more. This is a trip that will challenge your skills and familiarize you with dangerous fields and abrupt downhill crashes.
Keep in mind that we may vary the location of the trip to find better snow conditions. Tymphi is another possible spot for this program.
If you are an experienced skier and are looking to take your skills to the next level, then this is the trip for you. Furthermore, the stunning location will take your breath away! Book your trip now and I’ll take care of all the rest!

Mountain Guide
I have been climbing with passion since the age of 14 when I started rock climbing, and (in my 20's) I became a full-time mountain guide. Even though climbing first began only as a hobby, it later led me to a professional Mountain Guide title.
I am a Greek certified Mountain Guide HFMC, and an IFMGA/UIAGM/IVBV Mountain Guide, which is the highest internationally recognized mountain guiding certification. I am also a board member of the Hellenic Mountain Guide Association and a member of the Austria Guides Association (section Vorarlberg).
I work together with a group of certified guides, so If I am not available to guide you, one of the experienced guides in my team will be your guide.
In the last 20 years, I have accomplished many expeditions all over the world from Denali in Alaska to Damavand Iran, climbing or guiding and skitouring.
I love the mountains as well as the sea. I'm a passionate sailor and a skipper, also organizing climbing and sailing trips in the Aegean Sea.
Now I am currently studying Marketing and Management at EAP University. I live between my birthplace Litochoro, the village at the foot of Mt. Olympus Greece, and Chamonix France. You can find me guiding between Mt. Olympus and Chamonix Mont-Blanc, ski touring the Haute Route in the Alps, to summiting Mt Elbrus in Caucasus or sailing and climbing on the Greek islands.
I love to work with groups in new destinations and make great pictures along the way.

Yiannis was very competent, friendly, supportive. The hike up Mt. Olympus was tough but very worthwhile.

We had a great hike up Mt. Olympus with Babis. He is an excellent guide and really made us comfortable. The refuge was awesome. Only suggestion for improvement is someone to answer questions in advance of the trip without bothering the guide. The FAQs should be updated too. Highly recommend this trip!

Barbis partner also barbis He was very pleasant and smile lot. Even though he did not speak English he try to do his best as possible. Barbis very experienced guide. I wish he able to speak English so I could use some of his knowledge about the mountain. All matter is I had good time with my guide and he was great companion all the time. I highly recommend him Thank you
