Description

If you are looking for an amazing splitboarding adventure in the Patagonian Andes, you will love this trip. I’ll take you for a 3-day trip around the Frey Hut, one of the best mountain refuges in Argentina!

The Frey Hut (1,700m) is located in Cerro Catedral, the most popular winter sports area in Bariloche, Argentina. It sits beside a mountain lake at the foot of huge peaks and granite spires. Furthermore, it is surrounded by an amazing terrain for splitboarding.

This program starts at the base of Cerro Catedral. After taking some ski lifts, the adventure begins. Beautiful runs will take us across the Vantitter valley to the Frey Hut and on the way we will discover lots of couloirs with fresh snow.

The next days will be really exciting as we splitboard through the most amazing landscapes around the hut. Depending on your wishes, we can ride on open mellow bowls, steep slopes or intermediate slopes, in the unique wilderness of Nahuel Huapi National Park. Additionally, at the end of each day, the charming Frey Hut will offer delicious food and wines. And you will also have the chance to taste a good “mate” (Argentinian tea)!

So, if you want to spend 3 days splitboarding around the Frey Hut, then please fill out the form! I’ll be glad to guide you through one of the best spots in Patagonia!

I also offer a longer splitboarding experience in the Andes: check out my 12 day splitboarding traverse in Cerro San Lorenzo!

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!

Maxine

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.
