Description

Running along the border between British Columbia and Alberta, the Canadian Rockies are a veritable playground for rock climbing enthusiasts!

Over our week together, we will explore some of the best spots around the idyllic town of Canmore and the iconic Lake Louise.

The fun begins on day one after we meet up at our pre-determined location and drive on to the campsite near Canmore.

The next three days will be spent climbing the incredible crags and enjoying the phenomenal scenery of Banff National Park and over this incredible part of the Canadian Rockies.

Canmore offers a plethora of climbing from highly technical slab to pocketed overhanging jug hauls, making it the perfect spot for rock climbers of every level.

After three days in Canmore, we will head north to Lake Louise. Here, we will spend another three days climbing on pristine quartzite beneath the Victoria Glacier. It's quite a unique experience and offers plenty of trad and sport climbing routes.

Each evening, after a long day of climbing, we will return to camp to enjoy some great home-cooked meals and meet fellow climbers who have come here from all over the world.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 1-week rock climbing experience in the Canadian Rocky Mountains around Canmore and Lake Louise!

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.
