Description

Join us on this exciting full day backcountry skiing tour on Etheridge Ridge! This tour is for ambitious skiiers who want to explore off the beaten path. Etheridge Ridge is at the center of the Main Range and overlooks the colossal Mt. Kosciuzko. This ridge receives a lot of windblown snow, which means we will be skiing some incredibly fresh stashes!

Etheridge Ridge features varied terrain which makes for more challenging and interesting skiing. The runs here are relatively short so the best way to make an efficient skin track is to ski the entire ridge. We will have time for a short break at Seamans Hut for lunch. This hut is a lovely quaint structure and memorial.

In this backcountry tour, we will ski outside of the boundaries of the resort. This means we will have to be independent. While there are no ski patrol on duty in the backcountry, rest assured that one of our fully certified mountain guides will be skiing alongside you the whole way.

Each person will carry their own gear. Each skier on this trip will receive a backpack with necessary skiing and safety equipment. We will be using lightweight touring gear so that we can move with more ease and freedom.

There is so much beauty to be seen in this area of the Australian Alps. By sticking to the main path, you are only seeing a fraction of it. That is why we recommend this backcountry ski tour for adventurous, experienced skiiers!

Book today for a skiing experience you will never forget!

If one day of backcountry skiing is not enough, we completely understand. You can join us for another full day backcountry ski tour on Mt. 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.
