Description

Known as one of the final great skiing towns in Colorado, the rocky and rugged town of Crested Butte is a paradise for outdoor sports.

It is home to an extensive single track network for mountain biking, which in terms of length and variety remains unrivalled within the whole of the US.

Yet while the mountain slopes offer thrills and spills down winding tracks, much of the town’s history focussed on the underground, where coal and silver were mined.

Like many areas the coal mines began to close, and it wasn’t until the 1960s that the town revived its fortunes when a ski area was built.

The fascinating trails of Crested Butte feature a variety of terrain and wiz past beautiful scenery, such as the 2,488-meter Jumbo Mountain, or the piercing granite ridge of Hartman Rocks.

Dive down Colorado’s desert trails, spin round a corner on a bed of crisp, golden aspen leaves, and blaze down winding single tracks while being neck-deep in wildflowers.

Get in touch now to reserve your place in the rugged wilderness of Crested Butte, located in the US state of Colorado, for a 1+day mountain biking adventure.

    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.
