Description

In the Aigüestortes National Park, at the Spanish side of the Pyrennes, there is Les Encantats, a wild and preserved massif. We will enjoy these “enchanted mountains”, perfect for ski itineraries, and spend the nights in different guarded huts.

At this time of the year, the snow is still consistent at medium altitude. Plus, you will improve your avalanche rescue skills.

We will meet at the French side to co-drive until departure. The itinerary is a 6-day loop that includes the ascent of several summits at about 2800 meters high (Montardo, Portero Peak and the Grand Tuc of Colomers) and Punta Alta (3015 meters high). Several summit ascents are optional, depending on your physical shape as well as the snow conditions.

The first day we will climb the Pont de Ressec (1390 meters) and have an avalanche victim search exercise. We will sleep at the refuge. From there, we will spend the night successively in the Restanca, Ventosa, Estany Long, Amitges and Colomers refuges.

Some passages, downhill as uphill, can be up to 40° steep**.** I will use a small strand of rope to ensure you on the most difficult ones. But do not worry! Nothing too extreme… This ski tour is a dream for good off-piste skiers who have some practice in ski touring.

Interested in a week skiing off the beaten path in Les Encantats? Then don’t hesitate to book this trip, I would love to be your guide!

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.
