Join me for a full day at the Miraval canyon, a fun day of swimming and exciting jumps! The Miraval canyon is located near Saint-Lary, in the Spanish Pyrenees.
In my opinion it is one of the most fun canyon options in the region, due to the many and varied jumps. Plus, the scenery is just stunning!
The Yaga river is located some 20 minutes past the border between France and Spain. Descending from Mont Perdu, the waters are clear and beautifully bluish.
We will start with a 15 minute walk downhill to reach the water. At this point the area is still quite open. The progression is easy, punctuated by several jumps. Then we will get to the first narrow sections: the “estrechos”. With one hand on each wall, we will progress swimming and walking.
As we advance, the walls will rise around us, growing until we find ourselves at the end of a one meter wide corridor, with walls of hundreds of meters. After a break for a small picnic we will continue our descent, around 4 more hours in the water. The second “Estrecho” is even more impressive than the first!
The canyon ends with the pool area, offering jumps up to 8 meters (optional of course). And finally we have to walk about 20 minutes to return to the parking. This is a mainly aquatic canyon, and there will be a lot of swimming. In particular, the narrow sections are extremely beautiful.
Interested in this canyoning day in beautiful Miraval? Then request to book this trip and I will see you soon!
This canyon is not particularly difficult. But if you are looking for something easy in the area, check out this other option near Saint-Lary.

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.
