Description

If you join me on this awesome 3-day backcountry ski tour we will explore and discover some of the more remote and captivating landscapes and terrain of Kosciuszko National Park, where the alpine climate, fresh snow and exciting slopes provide the ideal conditions to improve your backcountry skiing, all whilst taking in the unique Australian flora and fauna.

Kosciuszko National Park is a vast, rugged and wild area of Australia located in the southern areas of New South Wales, approximately 2 hours from Canberra. It is renowned as an Australian skiing mecca, and is most famous for containing the highest peak in the country, Mt. Kosciuszko.

We will meet in either of the two largest resorts in the park, Perisher Blue or Thredbo, and over the course of the subsequent 3 days you will learn the skills and techniques to exponentially improve your backcountry skiing such as the correct gear to use, interpreting weather forecasts, assessing weather and avalanche conditions and alpine navigation. All this will be undertaken on the excellent and secluded backcountry areas of the park.

Some of the views and scenery we will come across are absolutely stunning, as the snowy alpine slopes are lined with native Australian flora and fauna such as gumtrees and wildflowers, and if we are lucky we will come across wild brumbys and kangaroos! Looking out over the valleys and the mighty Snowy River is also a treat.

At the conclusion of the 3 days we will hopefully have equipped you with the necessary skills to further enjoy your backcountry skiing, whilst also helping you fall in love with this unique part of Australia.

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.
