Description

Resting within the famous Picos de Europa in Asturias, Spain, the Naranjo de Bulnes (2,519m) is a fantastic mountain.

Definitely one of the most famous peaks in all of Spain, the Naranjo de Bulnes (or the Picu Urriellu as known in Asturian) is a highlight of the Cantabrian mountain range. And on this trip that can easily stretch into two exciting, scenic days, we will scale the mountain along its South face. The South face is the easiest route to reach the the top of this great mountain. However, because of the peak’s unique shape, even the South face can still be quite difficult. But once you reach the summit, the views you will get are nothing short of spectacular. I can also assure you that I will see to it you are safely guided throughout the adventure.

As a result of the potential difficulties, it is important that participants are in good physical condition, and have some prior experience.

This trip will take you to the Delgado Ubeda refuge. At the refuge you can, if you so desire, enjoy a meal and even spend the night, before making the climb to the summit. Thus giving you extra time to enjoy the climbing experience. However, this is not a requirement on this trip. So for those that wish to make climb in a single day, you can do that as well.

Climbing the Naranjo de Bulnes is an unforgettable experience. And it would be my pleasure to guide you through it. So send me a request, and let the climb begin.

I can also guide you to the top of the wonderful Puig Campana mountain in Spain as well.

Mountain Leader

My name is Picus Mazarredo and I am a sports technician in high mountain and sports technician in Climbing.

My passion has always been the mountain, as a child I remember the walks through the Pyrenees as something that has marked my life.
Trekking, snowshoeing and especially climbing, making ridges or ferratas is what I like the most and that is why I decided to make it my profession.

Since these studies did not exist in Valencia, I had to go out and look for them. This led me to study the Certificate of Initiation to the Mountain in Barcelona and later the Sports Technician of Media Mountain in Benasque where I stayed for a few years working as a guide in the Pyrenees.
Later I studied the Sports Technician in Climbing and I am currently studying with the Superior Sports Technician in Climbing.

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.
