Join me on an awesome climb to Mount Kosciuszko in the Snowy Mountains. There we’ll take in excellent views of some of the country’s tallest peaks.
Australia is well known for its white sandy beaches and the expansive outback, but did you know it also has great mountains? The Snowy Mountains are the ski and snowboarding hub of Australia in winter. Then, in summer, they turn into an awesome hiking spot.
Situated in the state of New South Wales, Mount Kosciuszko sits at 2,228 meters, making it the tallest mountain in Australia. Climbing Mount Kosciuszko is a great way to explore this part of the country.
On this trip, we’ll hike to the very top which will take us around eight hours. We’ll cover almost 20 km of ground in the process. This is no easy hike and there are some pretty steep sections so you’ll need a good level of fitness to tackle it.
Our trail will begin with a hike through the native Australian bush. After some strenuous uphill hiking, the grassy landscape will start to change to granite rock.
We’ll stop half-way into our hike for a picnic and to enjoy the beautiful nature around us. Then, when we do reach the summit, we’ll take our time to enjoy the Snowy Mountains in all their glory with 360-degree views.
This is an experience you don’t want to miss. Get in touch now to secure your spot on this uniquely Australian hike. If winter sports are also your thing, be sure to check out this winter backcountry ski tour trip to Mountain Kosciuszko.

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.
