Description

Join me on a fantastic 2-day guided ski touring ascent to Aneto Peak (3404 m), the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.

Aneto is located in Posets-Maladeta Natural Park in the Aragon Province in Spain and it part of La Maladeta Massif. It also holds the largest glacier in the Pyrenees.

We will meet in Benasque, the main city in the Benasque Valley, surrounded by the highest peaks in the Pyrenees. Then we will skin up to the Renclusa Hut, for 2/3 hours, depending on the access route conditions. We will sleep in the refuge that night and next day, we will climb Aneto.

Once in the summit, at the top of the Pyrenees, we will enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains. Then we ski down on the amazing slopes of Aneto!

So if you want to climb Aneto and enjoy an amazing descent just send me a request! I will be happy to guide you and we will start planning this trip right away. If you have more time availabe, you could take a look at my 5-day ski touring trip in the Aragon Pyrenees, also starting from Benasque.

Mountain Guide

I love what I do and love to transmit my passion while guiding.

After touring the world fulfilling my dreams, I have put together all the knowledge gained and a strong background as a mountain guide to become one of the most versatile, dedicated and professional guides in the Pyrenees.

My resume has technical training in mountain medicine, snow studies, search and rescue complete training, meteorology and botany.

I spend the winters enjoying the unique snow conditions in the Aran Valley, as a ski touring and freeride Guide, and summers climbing the countless areas of excellent rock, either granite, limestone or conglomerate in the Pyrenees. I also spend a lot of time in Iceland during the summer guiding my friends and clients across these incredible landscapes.

While traveling the world, I make every effort to show the beauty of the landscapes, the quality of the rock and the best snow in the Pyrenees to everyone who wants to check them out.

Please get in touch with me if you want to discover the Pyrenees!

What people are saying about Roger

Roger was my instructor for a glacier guiding course in Iceland - he went above and beyond to share his incredible knowledge/experience. I would recommend him as an instructor!

Roger has guided our groups on the Snoworks Backcountry skiing trip to Baqueira that I've joined in 2019 and 2020, and I can vouch for his excellent and very safety conscious approach to route choice and group management. His expert knowledge of the area meant we were able to ski untracked powder almost every day. His friendly and very positive personality has also made our days out with him great fun.

Makes every trip into the mountains a real adventure.

Roger is a fantastic person and a super guide. We spent one week with him on Monte Rosa where he safely guided us on glaciers and we learned a lot about high altitude mountaineering. He knows his stuff on the mountain, on glaciers and on climbing. Always positive and a great attitude. Thanks for a great experience, Roger!
