New Zealand's most popular tourist destination is Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. It is an almost 7,000-hectares UNESCO World Heritage Site with close to 20 peaks over 3000 meters.
I offer you this amazing 6-day one-to-one guided mountaineering trip around the area. The personalized guiding will allow to take on more challenging peaks without neglecting safety.
For example, we can reach the summit of Mount Cook (3.724m), a heavily glaciated peak with no easy routes to the top. This adventure involves glacier, rock and ice climbing.
This is your trip. It will fit your wishes and your previous experience, considering the snow and the weather conditions. You can also add more days, especially if you are planning to climb several peaks. Another imposing summits that we can reach are The Minarets (3,031m), Mount Sefton (3,151m) and Mount Elie de Beaumont (3,109m), among others.
So, if you want to spend six days exploring the summits of New Zealand's Southern Alps, contact me! I am sure that this will be a once in a lifetime experience for you.
And if you are looking for an unforgettable skiing outing, you should check out my Mount Cook heliskiing day trip.

I grew up skiing in Hokkaido, the island of ‘Japow’ in Japan. I moved to New Zealand in 2001 and I live in Mount Cook village, where the centre of Southern Alps lies.
Since then I'm deeply in love with the natural environment that New Zealand can offer.
I'm an IFMGA-certified mountain guide and a member of New Zealand Mountain Guides Association. I guide all over the Southern Alps of NZ, especially rock climbing, alpine climbing, instruction courses in summer, heliskiing, ski touring, ice climbing in winter.
Please contact me if you are looking for an adventure in NZ both during the summer and during the winter.

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.
