Description

Picos de Europa is one of the most popular rock climbing destinations in the world. This is your chance to head up the exciting vertical routes around Fuente Dé: join me!

Stretching for about 20 km, Picos de Europa is a mountain range in northern Spain which belongs to the Cantabrian Mountains. It encompasses part of the communities of Asturias, Cantabria and Castilla y León. With huge limestone walls and a wild environment, this region is a perfect destination for outdoor adventures.

On this rock climbing tour, we will explore the surroundings of Fuente dé, an aerial lift line in Cantabria. We can practice both trad and sport climbing in many different spots. If you join me for several days, we can try more than just one!

These are our possible destinations:

Cabrones Torrecerredo: Spectacular ridge that joins Pico de los Cabrones (2,552m) with the highest peak of Picos de Europa, Torrecerredo (2,650m). A classic tour with imposing beauty.

Madejuno Tirollago: In this ridge we will find spectacular ascents with rappels and aerial steps. A simple and pleasant climbing option.

Integral de Tajahierro: Beautiful alpine climbing at the heart of Picos de Europa. Not too difficult but long, it requires a good fitness level.

Torre Blanca Llambrion: This ridge allows us to enjoy rock climbing in a scenic area away from the crowds.

Remember that this activity is suitable for all levels. We will find a route adapted to your skills so you can enjoy it to the fullest!

AEGM Mountain Guide from Spain

Passionate for mountains since I was a kid, at 14 I started climbing in Atxarte (Vizcaya) walls, thanks to some friends. Later I discovered other activities such as canyoning, skiing and ice climbing, which allowed me to enjoy mountains both in summer and in winter.

I travelled around Europe, USA, India, Peru, Marruecos, among others, with the excuse of climbing some peak, wall, or doing some canyoning.

I've been a member of the 'Young Alpinists Technification Team' of the Basque Mountain Federation, and after gaining experience in all mountain disciplines I left behind my job as electronic technician to become a guide in order to pass on my passion and knowledge to others.

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.
