The Camporells massif is a true gem for ski touring in the Oriental Pyrenees. This charming destination is extremely inviting, and the snow exceptionally good.
The landscape includes stunning frozen lakes, and there are summits of varied difficulties. This means that I can find slopes to ski for all levels, so don't hesitate to ask me for the best options according to your experience.
This magical place is ideal to discover ski touring. It is also a fantastic option is you want to improve your skills and experience some steep descents in a stunning environment.
If you are a beginner, we will spend part of the first day getting familiarized with the ski touring equipment. We will also learn (or refresh) important safety measures.
We will spend the night at the Camporells refuge (2240 m), a charming hut with a warm ambiance. It is he perfect place to refuel and start the second ski touring day full of energy.
During the first day we will ascend either the Petit Peric or the Grand Peric. And the main ascent of the second day is the Pic de la Grande Porteille.

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.
