Description

Do you want to experience an exciting winter adventure? Then follow me on a 4-day ski touring trip in the Pyrenees and explore the stunning Carros de Foc route!

Carros de Foc is a mountaineering and ski touring route which connects the huts of the Aigüestortes National Park, in Catalonia. It was opened in 1987 by the hut keepers, and over the years it has become a Pyrenees classic.

With impressive over-3000m peaks and about 200 lakes, the Aigüestortes i Estany of Saint Maurici National Park was created in 1955. It is in the comarques of Pallars Sobirà and Alta Ribagorça.

This region offers top-quality powder snow and a unique scenery with huge granite walls and lush forests, as well as steep and wide slopes. On this 4-day tour we will climb and ski in the surroundings the Arties, Ventosa i Calvell, Amitges and Saboredo huts. Then, at night, we will eat delicious food and rest in these charming refuges!

Please note that you need intermediate skiing skills and a good fitness level to join this adventure. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way!

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!

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.
