Description

I invite you to join me on a fantastic 5-day ski touring trip in the beautiful Aragon Pyrenees in Spain!

On the first day, we will transfer from Toulouse Airport to Llanos del Hospital, in the Benasque Valley in Aragon. The trip will take us about 3 to 3.5 hours. This ski base is located at the foot of the Aneto peak (3404 m), the highest peak in the Pyrenees.

Then we will skin up to the Renclusa Hut for 2 hours, where we will spend the night. The refuge is at the foot of the Maladeta massif.

We will ascend the Aneto peak on the second day of the tour. The mountain is located in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, in the Huesca province. We will then enjoy a great run skiing down back to Llanos del Hospital.

On the third day, we will head to the Remuñe Valley and the beautiful Ibon Blanc. Ibon is the Aragonese word for small mountain lakes of glacial origin. That night we will sleep at the Estós refuge. Next day, we head to Ibon Alto and sleep in the Angel Orus Hut.

We will ascend Posets peak (3371 m) on the fifth day, the second highest peak in the Pyrenees. We ski down to Benasque where we spend the night. Finally, on Day 6, we transfer to Toulouse airport.

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!
