Description

Madriu-Perafita-Claror is a glacial valley in southeastern Andorra. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004 under the category of “cultural landscape”. Join me on this fun half day hiking trip and explore this beautiful place with me!

This glacial valley, which covers an area of 4,247 ha, features high open pastures, imposing cliffs and leafy forests. It is surrounded by huge mountain peaks and can only be reached through hiking trails.  Additionally, it is also popular for its rare wildlife including chamois, roe deer, wild boars and foxes, among others. Furthermore, the Madriu offers a perspective of how local inhabitants have used its natural resources for over 700 years. We will find dwellings, field terraces, tracks, and ironwork remains. Moreover, its old communal land-ownership system reflects the persistence of pastoralism and a strong mountain culture. 

This tour is suitable for family groups. Prior hiking experience is not necessary. Although we usually walk 10km (2 or 3 hours), we will adapt the outing depending on your wishes. Therefore, we will make sure that everyone enjoys the excursion!

So, if you are up for a stunning hike around the Madriu Valley in Andorra, please contact me. Let me guide you through this unique natural and cultural spot!

I also have other family hiking adventures in the area. Take a look at my trips in Pessons Glacier Circus and Sorteny 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.
