SPAIN
Spain is the world’s best climbing destination, with more rock per square mile than any other country on earth. After Switzerland, Spain is the country in Europe with the most mountains. The Pyrenees are the most well-known, with old glaciers and granite looking knife ridges. Mountain ranges cross Spain from north to south and from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean coast. Spain is the main destination for multi-pitch and sport climbing limestone routes, with walls up to 2000 feet high. Some of the other unique climbs run along the Mediterranean coast, with many of these climbs starting in the water. Sport routes, multi-pitch routes or alpine climbing can be a goal for your new adventure. Canyoneering in northern Spain is also a big destination with Sierra de Guara on top of the canyoneering world.
Rock climbing: We offer you a variety of rock climbing destinations. From one pitch sport routes to a multi-pitch climbing route, surrounded by the beautiful Mediterranean landscape. We will choose the right level of difficulty for you, making sure that you enjoy the climb.
Alpinism: Enjoy the views from the summit of Pico Aneto ( ) the highest peak on the Pyrenees. To get there we will cross old glaciers and will climb knife ridges. Of course, we can stay in a classic European hut, enjoying the comfort and the great food that they provide. We can also climb other classic peaks around the Pyrenees area.
Ski Mountaineering: Discover the Pyrenees on skis in spring time. We offer different trips of 4-5 days from hut to hut in the heart of the Pyrenees.
