The Maladeta Peak is a mountain summit very close to the Aneto Peak. It is located in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, in the province of Huesca, Aragon. On its north slope lies the Maladeta Glacier with a total surface of 37 hectares.
It is also the sixth mountain above 3000 meters that forms the massif. Its top has several peaks like the Mir (3185 m), the Sayo (3220 m) and the Cordier (3254 m).
As for the itinerary, we will depart from La Renclusa Hut in direction to the Maladeta Glacier. We will leave the Upper Portillon in our right, moving towards the vertex of the glacier. From there we will ascend through the edge to finally reach the summit.
During the ascent we will gain an elevation of 1400 meters. The round trip will take about 9 hours. It is a mountain of easy-intermediate difficulty. That means that it is only necessary to have a good fitness level.
Please get in touch with me if you want to make your reservation or ask me your doubts before get decided. It will be a honor for me to be your guide!

Mountain Guide
UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide and Paragliding Instructor from Spain
I've been working as a mountain guide for the past 30 years. I've done ascents in the Pyrenees, Alps and Himalayas, including Chooyu (8201m), Ama Dablam (6820m), Mera Peak (6461m, 9 ascents), Stock Kangri (6153m, 8 ascents) and Lenin Peak (7134m).
I live in Castejón de Sos, in Benasque valley (Huesca), near the highest peaks of the Pyrenees. There I guide ascents and traverse during summer and winter, doing ski touring, alpinism, rock climbing and trekking.
I also organize trekkings and ascents in the Alps, India and Nepal.
My other passion is paragliding, which I do since 1986. I'm a tandem pilot, and organize programs in Spain and Nepal for pilots.

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.
