Description
Join me for an incredible week hiking the stunning valleys of Hecho and Ansó, Spain. On this 6 day trip, we’ll visit the best places in the Aragonese Pyrenees. You don’t want to miss it!
The Hecho and Ansó valleys are among the most beautiful in the Pyrenees. The paths are full of historic landmarks and traditional ways of living since there are no ski resorts or big developments in the region. It is definitely the most untouched area and, therefore, will give you the real experience of the Pyrenees. That is why we’ll take our time to explore it, enjoying every meadow, river, flora, fauna and corner.
Some of the places we’ll visit include the Aisa valley, Riglos, San Juan de la Peña Monastery, and many others. You can check the itinerary below for a more detailed description of what we’ll be doing each day.
This is an intermediate type of trip recommended for people that can easily walk for 6 days. You don’t need to be extremely fit for this adventure. We can stop along the way as many times as you want either to enjoy the views or rest for a bit. In the afternoons, we’ll try to spot on a local bar or restaurant to explore the culture and cuisine. We’ll also be using a car to cover some distances. Make sure to review the list of necessary equipment below.

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.
