Description

Discover the incredible Aigues tortes-Sant Maurici National Park, Spain on this exciting 5-day splitboarding tour. We will visit the main huts in the park and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Pyrenees.

Located in the Aigues tortes-Sant Maurici National Park, the Carros de Foc is one of the classic routes in the Pyrenees for skiers and snowboarders. On this tour, we will follow this 55-meter-long route and splitboard for 5-6 hours each day. The route has an altitude change of 9,200 meters, offering thousands of options for exciting descents. Some of the summits we will explore include: Montardo (2,833 m.), La Creu de Colomers (2,896 m.), Pic de Mariolo (2,856 m.), Pic dela Mainera (2,904 m.), Pic Monestero (2,877 m.), Tuc de la Ratera (2,863 m.) and Tuc de la Gran Sendrosa (2,703 m.). Make sure to check the itinerary below for more details on the huts we will visit.

Because we will spending long days out in the mountains you will need a good fitness level. It is also best if you have previous experience. But it will not all be hard work. Carros de Foc is surrounded by large granite walls and woods with green pines. It is one of the most beautiful spots in the Pyrenees. We will not only have a great time splitboarding, but also enjoy the landscape which is simply stunning.

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide based in the Pyrenees

I grew up by the seaside, but since the age of 9 I started going to the mountains. And since then, I never stopped.

I learned about freedom from philosophy, physics and maths, and then the mountains showed it to me.

I get new knowledge from forming new guides, studying mountain medicine, and training body and mind. But going to the mountains give me the reflexes.

From top level climbing, alpine style 8000s peaks, skiing and snowboarding, opening routes from the Arctic to the Antarctic, passing through the Himalayas and climbing in the desert and the jungle, from the Patagonian Ice to Vietnam: The important thing is not where you get, the important thing is to go.

I’m based in Benasque, in the Pyrenees, but consider myself a nomad. I just expect the rain or the sun rising every morning to celebrate nature’s cycle, and continue living as part of it.

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.

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.
