Description

Enjoy a combination of hiking and via ferrata on this wonderful 6-day adventure through the Picos de Europa National Park, Spain.

The Picos de Europa National Park is a beautiful protected natural area in the Cantabrian Mountains. It is also one of the biosphere reserves of the planet and the third most visited park in the country.

During this hike, we will admire the views and wildlife of this amazing park as well as enjoy the tranquility of its surroundings. We’ll walk around 14 km per day through both high alpine areas and low valleys. That’s why a very good physical condition will be necessary.

Also, you can choose to take a via ferrata experience over alpine territory on the first day of the tour. It’s an optional activity independent of the hike. In fact, after the trip, you can stay a few more days and arrange more activities such as rock climbing or even other via ferratas on the typical limestone walls of the area.

Send your request and start planning this fantastic via ferrata and hut to hut hike in Picos de Europa. I will be happy to be your guide!

Mountain Leader

I have lived and played in the mountains my entire life so becoming a mountain guide was a natural progression from turning my hobby into my profession. I simply followed my passion and now my work is what I love to do the most. I feel very fortunate to do something I am excited about everyday and guide interesting people in spectacular natural environments.

I am a certified rock climbing guide, canyoning guide, and international mountain leader guide (UIMLA). I am the only native English speaker in the Spanish Mountain Guides Association. I guide all over Spain but also other parts of Europe and South America.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the mountains with you and helping to make your active vacation as memorable as possible!

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.
