Description

Join me on this trip and enjoy the best snow in Pyrenees! Four days of backcountry ski touring, skiing down to Banhs de Tredós Thermal Hut.

Comfortable services, excellent traditional food and thermal pots make this thermal hut in Val d'Aran the best place to recover and relax.

I particularly like bringing my friends and clients on this trip because we have the chance to enjoy the best snow in the Pyrenees. Besides, we can go for the best descents based on each day's conditions. And finally, we can relax in the thermal pots of Banhs de Tredós after long days of skiing! The traditional food of Val d'Aran, the most authentic valley in Pyrenees, doesn't hurt either.

Depending on the conditions, on the first day we might climb one of the most classic peaks in Val d'Aran: Tuc de la Salama (2,485m). The descent from the top is amazing! On another day, we may go for the Tuc de Sendrosa (2,706m) in Valle de Varradós. On the way up, we'll enjoy wonderful views of Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees.

Heli-skiing and heli-lift are also available in the area, so don't hesitate to ask if you'd like me to arrange it for you (not included in the price).

This program sounds like a good idea? Check out this family's experience!

If you are interested in this amazing trip, contact me and we'll start making plans. It will be my pleasure to guide you in this beautiful region that I know so well.

Mountain Guide

I love what I do and love to transmit my passion while guiding.

After touring the world fulfilling my dreams, I have put together all the knowledge gained and a strong background as a mountain guide to become one of the most versatile, dedicated and professional guides in the Pyrenees.

My resume has technical training in mountain medicine, snow studies, search and rescue complete training, meteorology and botany.

I spend the winters enjoying the unique snow conditions in the Aran Valley, as a ski touring and freeride Guide, and summers climbing the countless areas of excellent rock, either granite, limestone or conglomerate in the Pyrenees. I also spend a lot of time in Iceland during the summer guiding my friends and clients across these incredible landscapes.

While traveling the world, I make every effort to show the beauty of the landscapes, the quality of the rock and the best snow in the Pyrenees to everyone who wants to check them out.

Please get in touch with me if you want to discover the Pyrenees!

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.

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.

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.
