Description

If you’re looking for an exciting half-day, full of fun plus time to relax, then this is the trip for you. Here’s your chance to go canyoning in the Pyrenees and then unwind in some hot spring baths!

Under 3 hours drive from Barcelona in Spain or Toulouse in France, Thuès-Entre-Valls is a French settlement in the picturesque Cerdanya region of the Pyrenees.

It is only about 35 mingutes from Puigcerdà, the region’s largest urban area. The landscape of the region is comprised of canyons, mountains, lakes, waterfalls and the list goes on!

With a fascinating history, the Cerdanya region was eventually split between France and Spain in 1659, with the countries sharing the territory’s land area almost exactly in half.

This beautiful region is sparsely populated with 24 residents every km2, meaning we basically have this gorgeous terrain to ourselves and can really feel the call of the wild!

With over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, Cerdanya is almost aways basking in a bright radiance that only adds to the beauty.

Our time out canyoning will last about 3-4 hours, providing enough time for you hike through stunning ravines, abseil through a waterfall, and finally soak in the heat of the natural thermal baths!

Don’t forget to bring your ankle boots/trainers, swimsuit, spare clothes/shoes, food and water. We will provide all the rest to ensure you’ll be smiling for days afterwards!

If you’re excited to explore the canyons of the French Pyrenees, climb through waterfalls and chill in natural hot springs, then sign up now because this an opportunity not to be missed!

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.

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.
