Description

If you have some experience in mountaineering and are looking for a challenge, you can’t miss this opportunity. Join me on this winter alpinism program in the San Carlos Peak in Cantabria.

At 2,392 meters above sea level, San Carlos Peak belongs to the Central Massif of the Picos de Europa, in the Cantabrian Mountains. This mountain offers several options with different levels of difficulty to enjoy winter alpinism. The classic route is through the north face of the mountain. While we enjoy the activity, we’ll have the pleasure to see the stunning surrounding peaks from the massif.

The ascent through the north face isn’t technically difficult. However, consider that it has an extension of 300 meters and that we’ll find obstacles along the way. Therefore, it is important to have some background experience in mountaineering as well as a good fitness level.  Also, if you’re looking for a more demanding option, I can take you to the Ataraxia route, aimed at advanced climbers.

So, does this program sound tempting? Then do not hesitate to send the request to book your place. You won’t regret your choice!

Another option could be this snowshoeing program that I lead in Abiada, also in Cantabria. Check it out!

AEGM-UIMLA Guide from Spain

I did my first steps as a mountaineer as a teenager in Madrid. But the desire to enjoy all the possibilities given by the mountains convinced me to move to Benasque valley, at the heart of the Pyrenees.

Along the years I did several winter and summer activities not only in the Pyrenees, but also in Picos de Europa, Sierra Nevada, Sistema Central...

One of my passions is to travel and discover new places and cultures, so I did climbing trips to other European countries, USA, Canada, Morocco, India, Nepal, Kirguistán... This trips gave me a priceless experience that made me grow as a climber, and set the stone to my formation as professional mountain guide.

I now live in Cantabria, and usually guide both in summer and winter in the Cantabrian range.

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.
