Description

There are not many peaks in Sweden that exceed 2,000 meters in height. However, in northern Sweden, in the lapland region, stands the magnificent Ahkka massif (2,016m).

Ahkka consists of eleven summits. The highest summit is Stortoppen (2,016m), which is the 8th highest summit in Sweden. Other popular summits in the massif include the following.

Nordosttoppen (2,010m)
Borgtoppen (1,963m)
Dubbeltoppen (1,830m)
Vasttopparna (1,730m)
Majtoppen (1,628m)

Also known as the Queen of Lapland, Ahkka is a hugely revered peak in Sapmi folklore. Thus giving the mountain a mystique and ancient significance that is not lost on anybody who visits it.

A great climb, the views you will get of the nearby glaciers and forests, as well as the spectacular Akkajaure lake, only get better the higher up you go. Furthermore, the area surrounding the mountain, within the Stora Sjofallet national park, is full of gorgeous, and untouched, wilderness. You will feel like you are in a world a million miles away from any building, car or highway. Hence giving you a truly natural experience that we know you will never forget.

While not an enormous peak when compared to other mountains in the world, Ahkka does nonetheless pose some difficult spots. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. Prior mountaineering experience is also very beneficial as well.

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.
