Alps

5 Days

Jan - Apr

Description

Join me in this great 5-day program and let's go snowshoeing to Lesachtal, an amazing valley in the Austrian Alps. We will explore the countryside, through snow-covered forest roads and hiking trails.

Lesachtal is located in the state of Carinthia in Austria. It's a fantastic spot for winter activities. I love this valley, as it is still a pretty untouched natural area in the Alps.

Along these 5-day program we will be able to enjoy the fresh air and wilderness. Also, it's a perfect opportunity for switching off from the city hurries and connecting with the peace of nature!

We will start our snowshoeing tours directly from our accommodation, the cozy Hepi Lodge, in Obergail. Besides, I will adapt our tour to the weather, snow and group conditions. You can check the tour itinerary below this text.

So, if you want to enjoy all the calm and nature of Lesachtal, contact me and let's start planning your trip! I will be happy to guide you in this great guided snowshoeing tour. You can also check my 5-day ski touring program in Lesachtal!

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.
