Rudi, IFMGA certified mountain guide, invites you to this mountaineering weekend in South Tyrol for the ascent of Ortler, the highest peak in the region.
Alps
2 Days
Jun - Sep
Ortler is the highest mountain in South Tyrol. With 3905m, it's not a 4000er, but its ascent through the normal route is extremely varied and exciting. It offers everything that will make a mountaineer's heart beat faster!
On the first day we ascend first by chairlift from Sulden to Landenstein. Then we ascend until the Payerhütte, where we spend the night. The second day is summit day! I can assure you, you won't stop admiring the wonderful views during the whole day! But it's not all contemplation, the day requires some fun effort as well.
Although the program is not particularly difficult, you need to be in very good shape. In fact, the second day is quite long, we will ascend and descend for up to 10 hours. Besides, you need to have experience with crampons and walking on glaciers.
Are you interested in this weekend ascent to the beautiful Ortler? Then please contact me for more information! I will be waiting for your message. And if you are in South Tyrol during the winter, I can also take you freeriding in the Dolomites!
We meet at 2PM in Sulden. We take the chairlift to Langenstein (2330m) and climb up Tabaretta (2556m) to Payerhütte (3029m).
Walking time: 3 hours
D +700m
Early in the morning we start the adventure up to Ortler. First, via the Tabarettagrat, whith in certain places has fixed ropes. Then to the upper Ortlerferner. The glacial landscape is simply grandiose! After a steep path, we are close to reaching the summit. It’s the highest point in South Tyrol. From here we can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view. The descent requires attention in some parts. But soon we reach the Payerhütte. Then we descend to Sulden, Veabschiedung and Heimreise.
Walking time: 8-10 hours
D +900/-1700m

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.
