Description
Sierra de Gredos is a unique place in the central area of Spain. Most of the year it offers some of the prettiest sceneries in the country. However, it is during winter that this wild and beautiful land turns into a true paradise for those who love winter sports.
Join me on this ski tour adventure in the Sierra de Gredos. Over a period of three days, I’ll take you to some of the most breathtaking spots in Spain. Also, this part of the country is not so famous, so most of it remains wild and almost pristine. Thus you’ll feel like this whole place is just for you to discover!
Here you’ll find exceptional ski touring routes that will simply take you breath away. Moreover, due to the unique location of Sierra de Gredos, it offers some of the best snow all throughout March and April. And, it has unbelievable summits, that will give you the most thrilling descents you could ask for.
The itinerary I suggest follows Hoyos del Espino. After exploring this amazing place, we’ll head towards the summit of La Mira. From there, nothing more than fresh snow and mesmerizing views await for you. Then, on our second day we’ll ski tour towards Morezón. Upon reaching the summit of Morezón, we’ll get exciting descents and more incredible views. Finally, we’ll spend that night in the Laguna Grande Hut, a charming mountain hut where, we’ll get to rest and share our stories. To end our journey we’ll have two options, we could reach the summit of Almanzor or climb La Galana. Whichever option we choose, we’ll get the most fun ski touring experience.
If you want to join this ski touring adventure, don’t hesitate and send me a request. I promise it will be an amazing experience.

I´ve climbed the most classical peaks in my country and in the Alps, and participated in trips and expeditions to iconic mountaineering destinations, such as Patagonia, the Himalayas, Yosemite, the Andes, Caucasus, Greenland, Africa and Alaska.
I’m happy cause I achieved what I always dreamed of as a child, and thought it was impossible: to live by and for the mountains.
I like to guide clients all around the world, but also to teach and work as an instructor, offering climbing and mountaineering courses.

Starting as Guide assistant y ended up forming professional mountaineers. And in between, many years of routes, walls, summits, and thousands of kilometers to achieve the highest mountain guide certification, and make my dream come true.

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.
