Description

Come join me to explore the best spots of the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park with this 4-day guided splitboarding tour!

The Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park is located in the northern region of Catalonia, almost in the border with France. It is part of the Pyrenees and it is full of lakes and beautiful peaks.

The access to this park is quite restricted, except on foot, to preserve its natural environment. So we’ll find lots of untouched slopes, with pristine snow, waiting for you to ride them down!

This 4-day program will take you across the Aran Valley where we’ll climb different peaks over 2000 meters, such as the Montarto de Aran (2840 m) which is a beautiful peak with breathtaking views of the whole national park.

All along the way we’ll stay in charming and cosy mountain huts where we’ll relax and enjoy the quiet nights before going out again the next morning!

This 4-day guided splitboarding tour is a great way to discover the most amazing spots of the incredible Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, while enjoying memorable rides! Send me a request now and we’ll start organizing your trip!

Remember that skiers are also welcomed!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
