In the Los Lagos Region, in the Andean Range, there is a group of volcanoes with beautiful landscapes. On this 1-day program, I invite you to climb Osorno Volcano, a stratovolcano with 2,652 meters of altitude.
First of all, we will meet in Puerto Varas City, situated on the shore of Llanquihue Lake. From this point, we will be able to see a beautiful view of Osorno, Puntiagudo and Tronador volcanoes. Here, our ascent to Teski Refuge (1,150 meters) begins.
The ascent to the summit presents some steep sections and a medium level of difficulty. It will take us around 6-7 hours to reach the top and we will face an elevation gain of 1,500 meters from the refuge. This is why it is important to have prior mountaineering experience as well as a good level of fitness to take part in this climb.
Discover one of the most spectacular expeditions in the area and cross beautiful lakes and mountains. Send the request to book your place and follow me on this adventure to Osorno Volcano.

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.
