Ski Alpinism in the Pyrenees, Val d’Aran or Benasque

Day or multi-day ski alpinism trip in Val d'Aran, in the Pyrenees with Miriam, AEGM mountain guide. Discover the best skiing spots and powder of the range!

Jan - Apr

Description

Join me in this day or multi-day trip of ski alpinism in the Pyrenees, starting from Val d'Aran or Benasque. We can pick one place and do a skiing day, or combine several spots for a multi-day trip.

The best option is to start from Val d'Aran, because the north face of the Pyrenees has better snow. But it is also possible to do it starting from Benasque.

There are plenty of skiing spots to choose, according to the snow and weather conditions, and the skill level of the skiers. Some of the best options are the north and south face of Aneto, the highest peak of the Pyrenees. The idea is to combine the ascent of a ridge, and then ski down couloirs. This way we'll enjoy the best powder snow of the Pyrenees.

What I like about this program and this region is that we can reach places where we will be alone in the mountain**.** And we can do some runs that there are not other ways to reach.

If we go for a combination of several days we can go down to the town after every skiing day. The other option is to stay at the several refuges of the Natural Park of Posets-Maladeta.

The best season to do this is February and March. But it is also possible to do it in January and April. You don’t need previous experience in mountain skiing to do this program, but yes some experience in piste skiing.

So please contact me if you are interested in ski alpinism in the Pyrenees, either one day or a several days trip! And if you want to combine it with heliski, check out this trip.

Mountain Guide

The story begins when your parents put you the skis when you are still wearing diapers, when you discover every summer the lakes of the Pyrenees, and after that you start going for the summits. When climbing and the feeling of freedom that comes with it gets you hooked, and there's nothing you can do about it.

It continues when you choose your career following the name: Technical Mountain Engineering, in Lleida, close to the Pyrenees, and you start working as a ski instructor during weekends. And year after year, trip after trip, run after run, you start getting together with young mountaineers, and closer to the formation as a mountain guide.

Expeditions, trips, some award and the constant formation and evolution are what built this long journey, which allows me to share the world that I love with others. And thanks to the works as a guide I can enjoy everything: the great moments that the mountain gave me, in the snow, rock or ice, and above all the moving feeling of realizing how small we are in the immensity of the summits.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
