If you are an alpine climbing fan, Mount Aneto ascent is a must for you!
Aneto (3,404m) is the highest mountain in the Pyrenees Range and the third highest in Spain. It is located in the northeast of the province of Huesca, in the autonomous community of Aragon, four miles south of the French border. It forms the southernmost part of the Maladeta massif, within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park (33,440.60 ha), in the Benasque valley.
Mount Aneto is one of the top mountaineering destinations in Europe. While its 12-hour ascent does not require advanced climbing skills, a good fitness level is important. The final stretch to the summit requires some challenging rock climbing, which you will successfully overcome with my help!
We will climb the Aneto using mountain skis, from the Renclusa mountain refuge, located at 2,140 meters, at the foot of the Maladeta massif, where we will spend the night. The route features beautiful green alpine scenery on the mountain’s hillsides and crosses a massive glacier (the largest in the Pyrenees), reaching a stunning year-long snow-capped summit, with a huge cross.

If you are looking for other mountaineering tours in the area, I recommend the 2-day Monte Perdido ascent, the 1-day ascent to Peña Telera, and the 1+ day trip to the “Gran Vignemale”.

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.
