Description

Situated in the French Cerdagne, Lac des Bouillouses is a lake that belongs to the Pyrénées-Orientales and reaches an altitude of 2,017 meters. In this stunning spot, we can spend a wonderful time with our snowshoes on and contemplate the amazing views of the surrounding peaks. Join me on this snowshoeing program and discover this fantastic spot.

The starting point of this activity will be the commune of Mont-Louis and we’ll meet at 9.30 am. From there, we’ll begin a 5-hour hike that will lead us around beautiful lakes and pools that we’ll find on the way. Some of the mountains that we’ll see while snowshoeing are Carlit Peak, the highest point in the Pyrénées-Orientales and Pics Pérics.

Although this program doesn’t require any prior experience to participate, take into account that we’ll cover a distance of 11 kilometers and face an elevation gain of 600 meters. Also, if you want to come with your children, consider that they must be over 10 years old.

So, do you find this activity exciting? Then get in touch with me by sending the request to book your place. You won’t be disappointed!

Trekking Guide

I'm a certified Mid-Mountain and Canyoning guide and a certified UIMLA Leader. I'm also a member of the High Mountain Catalan School (ECAM).

I have been working as a Mid-Mountain and Canyoning guide since 2008. My love for the mountains began at a very young age, as I grew up in the Pyrenees.

This passion eventually took me all around the world, including the Himalayas, the Andes, the Alps and Morocco where I travelled to practice mountaineering, rock climbing, canyoning, ski mountaineering, ice climbing, and mountain biking.

As a guide, my aim is to instill my passion for the mountains in you and that you experience it in the same way that I do: intensely and with minimal risk. Mountains are more than a job or an entertainment; they are a philosophy and a way of learning about life.

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.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
