Description

Definitely 2 of the most stunning peaks in the Swiss Alps, near Zermatt, the Obergabelhorn (4,063m) and Zinalrothorn (4,221m) are amazing mountains to climb. They also happen to be 2 of the 82, 4000 meter plus peaks spread throughout the Alps. And on this 4 day adventure, I would like to guide you to each of these peaks’ summits.

Our trip will begin in Zermatt. From there, we will make our way up to Arbenbiwak, where we will spend the night. After that, for the next 2 days, you will get to reach the summits of Obergabelhorn and Zinalrothorn. And at the end of each of those 2 days, you will get to relax and rest in the comfortable Rothornhutte (3,197m). Finally, on the last day of the trip, we will descend from the hut back to Zermatt.

This trip is designed for experienced climbers, as the difficulty level of this trip is at a UIAA 4. And because we will be trekking and climbing for approximately 10 hours per day, and ascending between 1,000 and 1,600 meters per day, you should be in good physical condition as well.

Great views and a thrilling experience await you on this 4 day expedition. If you would like to join me on this trip that will take you to the summits of the Obergabelhorn and Zinalrothorn, just send me a request. I know you’ll have an incredible experience that you will never forget.

I also offer a 5 day triple summit trip in Valais that will take you to the top of three amazing mountains: Weisshorn, Bishorn and the Dent Blanche.

Mountain Guide

I'm a professional UIAGM mountain guide who works all over the world and has an addiction for traveling and working in many different places. I live in the southern part of Bavaria/Germany in a beautiful region called Allgäu. It's the perfect location to explore the Alps.

I work as a guide year-round and I love spending time with my clients in the mountains. Fulfilling their dreams and sharing beautiful moments together is what motivates me to do a great job every day.

I have spent a lot of time in the mountains since I was a kid. Mountaineering, climbing, ice climbing and running have always been a big part of my life and I hope to continue for many more years.

I was part of the German National Ski Mountaineering Team and have competed in all major global races, including Pierra Menta, PDG, Mezzalama, Tour du Rutor etc. I participated in many Worldcup races as well. This experience was very important for my guiding career in terms of motivation, knowledge and experience!

I guide my clients all over the world. I'll take you anywhere you want to go and we can reach a mountaineering goal together.

Please get in touch with me if you're interested in one of my programs or want to discuss a particular goal you have in the mountains. It will be a pleasure to make you an offer and discuss projects and plans for the future.

Hope to see YOU in the mountains.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.
