In the heart of the Bernese Alps, the Dent de Morcles stands as a majestic sentinel, its jagged peak reaching 2,969 meters (9,741 ft) and piercing the heavens. Nicknamed "Tooth of Morcles," this geological wonder is a testament to ancient glacial forces. Sheer cliffs and sharp ridges define its dramatic form, creating a breathtaking spectacle for all who behold it.
Together, we'll hike towards the Fenestral Cabin, tucked away amidst the wilderness at an altitude of 2,539 meters (8,330 ft). As you ascend, soak in the sublime mountain views before settling in for a restful night at the cozy cabin.
The next day brings the challenge of the formidable Dent de Morcles. This demanding hike, rated as T4, requires a good level of fitness and experience. But the effort is rewarded with exclusive panoramic views of Lake Geneva.
After conquering the summit, descend from the mountain and continue your trek through unique mineral formations, a testament to the powerful forces that shaped this landscape.

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.
