Join me for a spectacular week hiking in the Spanish Pyrenees. For the duration of 6 days, we’ll explore all the best corners in the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, in Sobrarbe.
The Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park is one of the oldest national parks in the peninsula. Located in the Sobrarbe region, it is north of Huesca, on the border with France and very close to the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park. It is formed by 4 valleys and we intend to discover all four on this adventure: Ordesa, Añisclo, Pineta and Escuain. They are full of wonderful rivers, waterfalls and forests. Furthermore, we might even explore historic sites and small charming towns. You can check the itinerary below for a more detailed description of what we’ll be doing each day. We can also try some rappelling if you want!
This is an intermediate level trip for people that can easily walk for 6 days. However, you don’t need to be extremely fit for this adventure. We can stop along the way as many times as you want either to enjoy the views or rest for a bit. We’ll also be using a car to cover some distances. Make sure to review the list of necessary equipment below.
So follow me for a wonderful week in the Spanish Pyrenees. Send your request and get ready to fall in love with the views of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido 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.
