La Pedriza is a granite massif in the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, the largest protected area in Madrid. Due to its geologic interest and sportive possibilities, it’s a very popular destination and an amazing place to go hiking.

On this 2-day program, I’ll take you through the trail called Integral de la Pedriza, which will lead us across the park to the highest point in the area. As for the accommodation, we’ll spend the night in a bivouac under the light of the stars. Then, on the second day of the trip, we’ll continue our hiked explore Manzanares el Real.

If you don’t wish to spend the night in this area, there is also the possibility to take a 1-day version of the program. Don’t hesitate to contact me and we’ll arrange the itinerary according to your preferences.

Please, take into account that this program has a medium level of difficulty and that we’ll face an elevation gain of around 500 meters per day. Therefore, it’s mandatory to have a very good physical condition as well as some previous experience.

So, if you think this traverse would suit you, then make your reservation by sending your request. I’m sure you won’t regret your choice!

Mountain Guide

I started going out to the mountains with my grandfather when I was a kid. I did my first "climbs" to Iconic Spanish mountains as Almanzor, Peñalara or Aitzgorri learning from him. That days woke up something that's been walking with me since then, the love for the outdoors and the adventure.

More than ten years ago I came back to Spain after seven years of "walkabout" in different countries and mountain ranges discovering people, cultures, and myself. I came for one reason, to turn my passion into my work. I start studying for became a mountain guide and I've been doing it since then.

I've guided groups and private tours in five continents. I've been lucky to share with people the beauty of places like Patagonia, Nepal, New Zealand, Japan, Scotland, Peru, the Alps, Morocco and many more.
I also work as instructor in Madrid's school training future mountain guides.

Now, I run along with two other partners, Palan and Daniel, our own guiding company in La Pedriza, 45 minutes driving from Madrid. We are specialised as local guides in the place we love the most and spend most part of the year in. Guadarrama National Park and La Pedriza.

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.

Cami

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.
