Description

Pedraforca is a mesmerizing mountain in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. This majestic peak lies in the comarca de Berguedá. Due to its rare form, and the fact that it stands alone, not visibly connected with other ridges or peaks, it is one of the most emblematic peaks in Catalonia. So, don’t hesitate and join us on this day hike to its secondary peak: El Calderer.

The Generalitat de Catalunya declared Pedraforca a Natural Site of National Interest. The nearest towns are Slades and Gósol. And it marks the boundary for these municipalities, as well as the provinces of Lleida and Barcelona.

The peculiar shape of this magnificent peak consists in two ridges, the pollegons. The Enforcadura, a neck, connects these two parallel ridges. The superior one, receives the name of Pollegó Superior. And rises at 2,506 meters. Then, the ridge below, Pollegó Inferior stands at 2,444 meters. But, it is El Calderer, a secondary peak in this incredible mountain, that stands out for its beauty. Also, while most climbers attempt the main summit, not as many approach El Calderer. Therefore, we’ll get the sensation that the whole mountain is just for ourselves!

Our itinerary will begin at the Mirador de Gresolet. Thereon, we’ll take the main path to the refuge. Upon arrival, we’ll head to the secondary summit. The ascent will not be difficult, however it is quite steep. But the views we’ll enjoy from the top will be an amazing reward for our effort.

El Calderer is an ascent a little bit harder than the main ridge here. Also it is much wilder and it offers the most breathtaking views of the area. Would you like to climb it? Just send me a request at let me guide you to its summit.

I started climbing as a child, where with a group of friends we started on multipitch climbing in the hand of the then guardian of Sant Benet. I have made several climbs in the Alps, Atlas, Southeast Asia, Patagonia, Jordan... and I love it! The Pyrenees its the place where I've toured more.

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.
