Description

Learn the most important mountain techniques on this two-day introductory course. This trip is organized for you to learn new mountaineering skills and test them on the same trip! Besides, we’ll get to enjoy the beautiful Spanish landscapes.

Depending on the time of the year, weather, and location of the clients, we can do the course in Aralar, Valdezcaray or Sierra de Urbasa in Navarra, in Ezcaray (La Rioja), in Alto Campoo (Cantabria) or in the Pyrenees.

Learning the basic mountain techniques allows us to act in nature, taking into consideration the equipment we count with. If you love the outdoors and any type of activity on the mountains, it is extremely important to undergo a course that will allow you to safely enjoy nature.

During these two days, we’ll learn about the different types of bivouacs and ways to light a bonfire as well as how to guide yourself with signs, maps and a compass. I’ll also teach you some basis of knots making, movements on rock, use of equipment and proper clothing.

Finally be sure to bring:

Sleeping bag
Insulation mat
Survival blanket
Bivouac cover
Food and water
Suitable clothing and footwear
Pocket knife
Compass
Map of the area
A small ruler
A pencil
Small thermal blanket
First-aid kit
Lantern

If the weather allows, we’ll sleep in bivouacs!

Send your request and get ready to learn all about mountaineering techniques! I would love to teach you and show you the most beautiful spots in north Spain at the same time.

About the guide

Mikel

Mountain Leader

UIMLA Mountain Leader from Spain

As a guide, I like when my clients enjoy and have an active participation, so they can learn to be autonomous in the risk management. With the security as a priority, the client can develop as a mountaineer.

That's why among the activities I offer as a mountain leader, I also have formation courses and free talks about security.

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.
