Description

This is an exclusive opportunity for people who love canyoning, or even those who have no experience and are curious about this fun activity. On this half-day canyoning trip, we’ll explore the Gurn Canyon, a magnificent gorge, suitable for all types of adventurers.

So you can bring your colleagues, friends and family along, as the Gurn Canyon welcomes children 7 years and older.

The Gurn Canyon lies in Sant Privat d’en Bas, within La Garrotxa, in the province of Girona, Spain. It is also right under the Salt de Sallent, an imposing waterfall of over 140 meters.

This canyoning adventure is a private program. Therefore, I will guide you and your group exclusively, making sure we find the most thrilling spots and have a fantastic time. Also, one of my main goals will be to ensure your safety throughout our trip.

I chose the Gurn canyon, not only for its unrivalled beauty, but also, the amazing options it offers. This breathtaking gorge is suitable for beginners and people with no experience in canyoning. But it also welcomes expert canyoners. Its emerald green waters, smooth sliding rocks and ideal spots for jumping, make it the perfect option for our adventure.

If it is your first canyoning trip, I’ll show you all the basics for rappelling. However if you have more experience we can practice on your abseiling technique. Then, we’ll find the right places where you can jump, slide, swim and enjoy yourself and your surroundings.

Would you like to join me on this canyoning private trip? You just need to send me a request, and get ready to have a wonderful time.

Are you looking for a completely different type of program? I also guide this Roca de la Creu, Half-day Via ferrata in the Ribes Valley, Catalonia.

Trekking Guide

I'm a certified Mid-Mountain and Canyoning guide and a certified UIMLA Leader. I'm also a member of the High Mountain Catalan School (ECAM).

I have been working as a Mid-Mountain and Canyoning guide since 2008. My love for the mountains began at a very young age, as I grew up in the Pyrenees.

This passion eventually took me all around the world, including the Himalayas, the Andes, the Alps and Morocco where I travelled to practice mountaineering, rock climbing, canyoning, ski mountaineering, ice climbing, and mountain biking.

As a guide, my aim is to instill my passion for the mountains in you and that you experience it in the same way that I do: intensely and with minimal risk. Mountains are more than a job or an entertainment; they are a philosophy and a way of learning about life.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
