Description

My proposal is to invite you on a 2-day snowboarding tour around the Baqueira Beret ski resort located in the heart of the Pyrenees. By exploring the surroundings of this famous Spanish paradise, you will discover the beautiful Aran Valley, its amazing peaks and spectacular backcountry terrain.

Our starting spot will be in the charming Spanish mountain village of Salardú. After an equipment check, we will direct ourselves to Baqueira Beret where we will spend the day in search of the best quality snow! During these two days, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of all the infrastructure at our disposal: ski lifts, taxis, snowmobiles as well as mountain skis and mountain snowboarders. Keep in mind that this program may be altered depending on weather conditions or depending on your wishes. You can find a detailed itinerary below!

Regarding our accommodation, we will rest in the beautiful Montgarry Hut where we will relax and enjoy some delicious local food.

Are you ready to explore the Catalan Pyrenees? Then contact me and let’s start planning your trip! I will make sure to accommodate your requests and desires.

Another option to enjoy snowboarding could be this Introductory half day off piste snowboarding course in Baqueira Beret. Check it out!

Itinerary

Day 0: Meeting point in Vielha

Meeting in Vielha for a trip briefing.

Day 1: Salardú- Baqueira Beret

First, we will meet at the parking lot of Salardú at 8:30 am.

After a quick equipment check we will head to Beret. Then, we will spend the day riding and looking for the best snow depending on weather conditions. Also, we will make two descents since we will have snowmobiles to pick us up.

Finally, we will end the day with a long descent to the refuge of Montgarri where we will stay and rest until the following day.

Day 2: Last day!!!

On our last day we will have different possibilities depending on the group. A very good option will be to ascend to the Paros tuc.

From the summit we will descend to the small town of Bagergue where we can have a snack in one of its restaurants before a taxi returns us to our vehicles.

As always this will depend on weather conditions and your wishes.

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.
