Located in northern Greece, the Pindus Mountains are perfect for practicing winter activities, and ski touring is the local people’s favourite ! These mountains separate the Epirus region from the regions of Macedonia and Thessaly. With their steep slopes and white peaks, adventurers from all over the world choose these mountains to spend some time away from noisy and busy cities. The Pindus Mountains are the perfect place to relax and have fun, all at the same time!

On this occasion, I propose to you a challenging 4-day program that will probably leave you breathless! Every day we will ski down from different mountain summits such as Goura’s (2.467m) and Gamila’s (2.497m). We will also choose some comfortable spots to spend the nights in order to recover from the last adventure and prepare ourselves for the next one: a remote hut in the mountains or a B&B in a small charming town are some of the accommodation options I offer.

On this trip I can take a maximum of 3 people with me. We will be climbing to 3000m so it’s necessary to have some ski touring experience and be physically prepared for the challenge. You will need all your strength and energy to climb those steep mountains.

Man

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.
