Description

The Benasque Valley lays in the center of the Pyrenees, in the province of Huesca, in the autonomous community of Aragon, in northern Spain. It comprises the greatest number of peaks above 3,000 meters in the Pyrenees, and is bounded by two of the highest massifs in the range, the Posets (‎3,369​m) and the Maladeta (3,312m), which give name to the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park (33,440.60ha).

Considered one of the most beautiful valleys of the Pyrenees, Benasque features high peaks covered in snow yearlong, alpine lakes and streams, a few glaciers, and dense wooded masses of beech, firs, birch, gall, oak, and black and red pine trees, which host fascinating typical Asturian species such as chamois, roe deer, marmot, bearded vultures, and golden eagles.

The Benasque Valley is a top winter destination for backcountry enthusiasts. It offers great off-piste terrain away from the crowds, for skiers and riders of all levels!

You can join me on a 1-day trip or a longer journey. I will tailor the itinerary according to your time availability, prior splitboarding experience, and preferences. During the tour, we will explore the stunning mountains in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park, climbing peaks of more than 2,000 meters, such as the Sacroux (2,676m) and the Estiba Freda (2,697m).

I will take a maximum of 4 people on this tour. Participants need to be in good shape and have prior off-piste snowboarding experience, with at least an intermediate level.

Mountain Guide

I am an AEGM Mountain and Canyoning Guide from Spain.

Since childhood the mountain has been my passion and as an adult I have turned it into my profession.

I have been guiding for almost 20 years and I do it with the same enthusiasm as the first day, and that is what I try to convey to my clients, taking care, above all, of safety.
