When it comes to ice climbing, the Canadian Rockies offers some of the best spots in the world. And near the town of Canmore, there is an abundance of amazing places to ice climb. As a result, this trip lasts 12 days. And I can assure you that there is more than enough memorable and thrilling ice climbing to last you every minute of those days!
While the name might not be as recognisable as Banff or Lake Louise, Canmore is nonetheless a beautiful town in the province of Alberta. Furthermore, it is actually very close to Banff and Lake Louise, and as a result the area around it has the same beautiful attributes those other 2 places have. Canmore is also famous for being a big part of the 1988 Winter Olympics that took place in Calgary. The town hosted several events during those games, including cross-country skiing and the biathlon. With all that said, this place definitely has the pedigree for amazing winter fun!
The variety of ice falls that you will get to climb throughout this trip is staggering. There are so many that one of the biggest challenges will be decided where to start. They also range from 50 metres to 700 metres high! Thus making this trip accessible to people of all levels. However, it is important that you are in good enough physical condition to participate.
Finally, because this trip takes place in December, you will be able to enjoy ice climbing in the perfect conditions because during that month, the weather, while cold, is very dry.
So if you are an ice climbing enthusiast, or somebody who wants to give it a try, and have a lot of time to do so, send me a request. Canmore has some great ice climbing, and I would be happy to show it to you.

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.
