Description

Join me and reach the highest point in Sweden! During this 4-day program you’ll have the chance to climb both the north and the south summits of Kebnekaise (2099m), the tallest peak in the country.

Due to climate change, the northern summit will soon be the higher of the two – perhaps even this coming summer.

We will first climb to the south summit and from there walk on the spectacular ridge “Sweden’s roof” to the slightly-harder-to-reach northern summit. We then walk across the ridge again to make our way back to the south summit before starting our descent.

Although the Kebnekaise can be climbed in between 9-13 hours, this 3-day program will allow us to reach both summits and and also upgrade our climbing skills on the neighboring rock face ‘Kaipak’

We will stay at Kebnekaise Fjällstation for 3 nights, which will allow us 2 full days in the area. No mountaineering experience is required but you will need a very good physical condition.

I offer this program both privately and for groups (on fixed dates). Join me for a memorable experience on one of Scandinavia’s most famous mountains and enjoy the unique views from Sweden’s roof!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

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.
