Description

Join me for a fantastic hiking adventure in one of the most emblematic mountains in Catalonia! We will go to Pedraforca, which means “snote pitchfork” in Catalan. 

Pedraforca’s name comes from the fact that it has 2 mains peaks. There are different hiking options in the mountain, so there are options for hikers of different levels. This is a beautiful vertical playground ideal to enjoy a day not far from Barcelona.

In fact, it is only 2 hours away from Barcelona. But in that short time, you will notice the big difference between the city and the mountain environment! The noises and crowds are left behind as we face the rocky terrain with amazing views. Furthermore, there are beautiful forests, and the natural setting in general is stunning.

We will reach the summit through the best route adapted to your level. The most popular one is the normal route (particularly during the summer) as it is rather easy but varied: we traverse a forest, ascend to a pass, do some easy and short rock climbing…

The hike to the summit takes a full day, between 6 and 8 hours.

Interested in discovering the beautiful Pedraforca near Barcelona? Then make sure to book this trip, I would love to guide you there! And for more options near Barcelona, you can have a look at this sport climbing program.

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.
