Description

Picos de Europa is a National Park located in Northern Spain and part of the Cantabrian Mountains range. In this 2-day rock climbing tour you will head up some of its most popular walls under expert guidance.

The imposing limestone mountains of the Cantabrian Mountains offer more than 1,000 climbing routes of different styles, sizes and difficulty. Furthermore, this 646.60 km² area is almost unknown, so it is un-crowded during the entire season.

Peñas del Prado via the Lago de Luna route will be our first climbing spotThe following day we will go to Peñas del Prado, where we can choose between two classic routes: Lago de Luna (IV+, 240m.) or Linea Blance(6b, 240m). On the rocks, we will enjoy amazing views of charming mountain villages nestled in beautiful alpine valleys.

For accommodation, you can choose the guest houses and hotels in the villages, or the mountain huts.

This is a rock climbing trip exclusive for sure footed climbers: you need to be able to climb on V+/6a level. You should also be in a good shape: we will climb long routes on high rocks.

So, if you are up for this unforgettable 2-day rock climbing tour at Picos de Europa National Park, please fill in the form. I’ll be glad to guide you through these rocks that I’ve been exploring for more than 20 years!

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.
