Experience via ferrata in the morning and then spend the afternoon learning rock climbing basics with local IFMGA-certified guide Tomas in Decin.
Elbe Sandstone Mountains
1 Day
Apr - Oct
You like to look at the world from above but don't have any climbing experience? This day trip will allow you climb to the top of Shepherd's wall in Decin in complete safety!
First, you'll try via ferrata in the morning. Cables, bridges and ladders will help you reach the top of Shepherd's Wall. You won't need any technical skills, though a good fitness level and a good head for heights are definitely necessary.
This via ferrata has been built recently and is a great alternative to enjoy the famous Decin sandstone walls. You'll get to enjoy truly magnificent views of the area's landscape, including its incredible rock formations.
Once you've gained some via ferrata experience in the morning, we'll spend the afternoon covering the basics of climbing. You'll learn about progression and security and how to belay and abseil. Then, at the end of the day, we'll share our stories at the local pub!
Alternatively, if you already have some rock climbing experience and would like to try sandstone climbing, check out my sandstone climbing in the Elbe Valley program.
Join me on this fun day of climbing and via ferrata in beautiful Decin. It's a great way to enjoy the sandstone mountains, even if you are a beginner!

Mountain Guide
I'm an IFMGA-certified mountain guide currently based in the Elbe Valley, Czech Republic. I've skied since a very young age but climbing is my true passion. I was in climbing representation and have climbed many big walls in the Alps, the US and Greenland.To me, mountain guiding is a unique profession: it allows me to spend my days doing what I like and to share with others the beauty I find in in the mountains.

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.
