Tucked into the stunning San Juan Mountains on the western slopes of the majestic Rockies, Telluride is home to some of the best ice climbing in the world!
Join one of our local and knowledgeable guides and we will take you out to some of the best spots in this incredibly beautiful part of Colorado.
Whether you have previous experience or are new to ice climbing, we will go out and climb the perfect route.
For beginners, we will likely opt for the small hydro-electric town of Ames, where there are plenty of short routes perfectly suited for learning the sport.
We'll take more advanced climbers either to the Ice Hose in Ames or to the iconic Bridal Veil. Both routes provide plenty of challenges as well as rewards.
Regardless of where we go, our guides will teach you more about the sport and help you hone the skills. By the time our day (or half-day, depending on your time limitations) is finished, you'll be ready to head out and try the sport again next winter.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun, scenic and informative day of ice climbing, just outside of Telluride, Colorado!
If you like the look of this trip, but were looking for something a little bit different, then we think you may also enjoy our day of backcountry skiing in Bear Creek, also near Telluride!

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.
