About the guide

Fiona

Mountain Guide

My name is Fiona and I am a member of the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides (AEGM) and a UIMLA-certified Mountain Leader.

I was born near Barcelona. At at the age of seven, I discovered that my natural and most comfortable environment was the vertical world of the mountains. My parents supported my early passion for climbing and I have never stopped exploring new heights ever since. I spent my adolescence in Alt Urgell, near the Pyrenees, and started at the age of 19 the Mountain Guide course in Val d'Aran, Spain, where I specialized my mountain skiing and alpinism techniques.

I also enrolled myself in the forest rangers in Pont de Suert (Spain), an experience that allowed me to live in direct contact with nature, to train in skiing and ice climbing during winter time and to perfect my climbing techniques.

Today I live in the Val d'Aran, where I work as a mountain guide and lead groups in the nearby Val d'Aran. During summer, you can find me in the Chamonix Valley, where I work in collaboration with the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix.

I have been part of the Women Alpinism Group of Catalonia (Grupo Feminino de Tecnificacion de Alpinismo de Catalunya) and of the National Team of Alpinism. These positions exposed me to professional mountaneering experiences and high-level competitions, such as the World Alpinism Championship that took place in Ukraine and where together with my team we conquered the 4th position. Today I continue my formation to become a Mountain Guide.

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.

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.
