Description

Located in North Norway and Sweden, Narvik and Abisko form the ice climbing mekka of northern Europe!

The options are endless for ice climbing in this region of Scandinavia, from roadside cragging to 700m long frozen waterfalls.

Imagine hanging on a frozen waterfall, high above the fjord and perhaps hearing the water flowing deep inside the ice. Probably the most fun activity you can imagine – I highly recommend you to give it a try, and no, it doesn´t have to be cold!

It’s a very unique experience, filled with an adventurous setting and close contact to the nature!

Narvik, on the Norwegian side, and Abisko, on the Swedish side, offer plenty of possibilities both for beginners and for experienced ice climbers as well.

Feel free to contact me and select one or more days to go ice climbing in North Scandinavia, my home region, and I will be happy to guide you!

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!

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.
