Description

During this amazing 2-day adventure, I would like to take you on a mountaineering traverse of the Pic Balaitus (3,144m) in the Tena Valley of Spain.

Located in the Spanish Pyrenees, the Pic Balaitus is a beautiful peak. Furthermore, the views you will get to enjoy of the large and stunning Tena Valley are unbelievable.

Our trip will begin near the town of Sallent de Gallego, by the La Sarra Lake. From there, we will venture to the Respomuso Shelter, where we will spend the night. The views you will get to enjoy throughout the first day are wonderful.

On the second day of the trip, early in the morning, we will make our way to the La Brecha de Latour. The journey will take approximately 2 hours. From there, we will climb to the top of the Pic Balaitus. After you’ve enjoyed the remarkable views from the summit, we will then descend through the Gran Diagonal toward the Arriel Lakes and back through the Tena Valley until we reach the La Sarra Lake.

Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. You should also have prior climbing experience as well.

To explore the Tena Valley, as well as view it from the summit of the Pic Balaitus is a wonderful adventure. To enjoy that adventure for yourself, please send a request.

I also offer a full-day traverse of the Midi D’Ossau, which you can enjoy here.

Mountain Guide

My name is Félix Aznar and I am High Mountain Guide and Alpine Ski coach. I live in the Spanish Pyrenees, very close to France. Here I guide my clients and practice mountain sports, like rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, mountain skiing, free riding and mountain biking.

I have lived in the mountains since I was a child. I first discovered them along my father, through catlle raising; later helping my cousin count the ibex, and finally climbing all the peaks in my valley and traveling all over the world to discover fascinating corners. Some of my favorite trips were Tromso (Norway), Lang Tang (Nepal) and Taghia (Morocco). I love the mountain world, their flowers and their animals, and the silence in them.

Contact me and I will guide you with much pleasure on a mountain adventure, making it an incredible experience!

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.
