Catalonia is one of the best places in Europe for rock climbing. This is the area where I come from. I’d like to show and share its secret places with you.
We will go to the main climbing massifs in the region: Montserrat, Montsec and Pedraforca. There we will discover amazing landscapes, with different terrains and interesting spots from a historical point of view.
Montserrat is a unique massif, a labyrinth of impressive needles with more than 4000 climbing routes of varied difficulties. Montsec is a mountain range of 40 km with limestone cliffs that go from 100 to 500 meters in height. Pedraforca is quite similar but it looks like an alpine area, with fir woods and snowy peaks in winter.
The program I am proposing is of at least 3 days. We will climb in the morning and use the afternoon to go from one place to another. For longer and more technical itineraries we may need 5 days. In any case, the program can be adapted according to your timing and fitness possibilities.
So if you are interested in this rock climbing tour in Catalonia, please send your request to book!

Mountain Leader
UIAGM/IFMGA guide from Catalunya.
I was born in 1959, and following a family tradition, I started practicing mountain sports. After a period of learning (in the mountains of Catalunya and the Pyrenees), the influence of the alpine literature drove me to high mountains and the Alps, where I climbed some of the most well-known peaks. Following that, I continued my mountaineering career with winter expeditions, expeditions outside Europe, and adventures on my own. This passion made me decide to become a mountain guide, and I am fully dedicated to this profession all year long.
Other interests I have are photography, writing and teaching.

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.
