This 2-day Val d’Aran advanced off piste skiing course is designed to improve your backcountry skiing technique.
This means that I'll teach you both how to go up effortlessly and go down with more style. Please note that this course can only be taught in Spanish.
Many people think that off piste skiing is just going down through some powder snow. But there is much more to it if you want to get the most out of an adventure like this. First, I will help you to chose your line, by watching the slopes and understanding the snow conditions. Then I'll show you how to save energy climbing up with your skies and how to move on dangerous areas.
I'll also teach you some techniques to enjoy the most out of the run down. This will be a a small and personalized group, so I'll be watching you at every moment and showing you how to move better. And when we'll finish the day you'll see how much more fun you had and how less sore you are.
So please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have about this 2-day Val d’Aran advanced off piste skiing course. I’ll get everything ready for you to enjoy the most about it.
And if you’d like to check out some of my other courses, please take a look at my Val d’Aran ice climbing course or my 2-day Val d’Aran introductory alpine course.

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.
