Description

Ever heard about Nordic walking? It is a new sport with multiple benefits. And the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park is one of the best places to practice this fantastic outdoors activity.

So don’t miss out on this excellent opportunity to discover all the amazing things about Nordic walking, while exploring this paradise in Spain.

Nordic walking is a sport that was created in Finland, as a way for skiers to keep training even during the summer months when there is no snow. At the end of the 90’s, special poles were created for this fantastic activity. So it basically involves using this special poles with unique movements.

You will learn how to move the superior part of your body as you are hiking. Hence, it will improve your muscle tone, coordination and mobility. Also it is the best way to stay fit, as it is more effective than simply walking without the poles. Moreover, you’ll use 90% of your muscles, straining less your articulations. What’s more you’ll immediately feel the results, benefiting your cardiovascular system and avoiding premature aging. Plus, it will help you reduce your stress levels, as well as the tension in the cervicals and neck.

Our meeting point will be the Hotel La Barranca in the Barranca Valley. Thereupon our adventure begins. As I’ll be teaching you all the basic moves you’ll need from our journey. After a short briefing, we’ll head towards the Sierra de Guadarrama. There we’ll spend the rest of the day practicing and perfecting your techniques.

Allow me to share my passion for this wonderful sport with you. Follow me into this Nordic walk adventure into the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park.

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.
