IFMGA/UIAGM guide from Spain.

I was born in 1960, and started practicing mountaineering when I was 13 years old. In 1998 I got my IFMGA/UIAGM international certification.

I live in the town of Sotres, in Picos de Europa National Park. Most of my professional experience in alpinism, skiing and climbing took place in the European ranges, mainly in Picos de Europa and the Alps. But I also have experience in the Himalayas.

Before becoming a guide I was also ski instructor and piste patrol.

What people are saying about {{text}}

The **Picos de Europa** are a sub-range within the **Cantabrian Mountains** (2,648 m). It extends over 20 kilometers, across the autonomous communes of Asturias, Cantabria, and Castile and Leon, in northern Spain. It consists of three major limestone massifs: the Central (or Urrieles), the Eastern (or Andara), and the Western (or Picos de Cornion) Massifs.

The Picos de Europa feature great backcountry terrain. The massif suffered the effects of glacial erosion throughout the years, resulting in steep mountain slopes with amazing snow!

During the first 3 days of our journey, we will be based in the small alpine village of **Sotres** (1,050m), in the Principality of Asturias. We will splitboard across Picos de Europa’s remote slopes, on areas with vertical drops of 1,000 to 1,300 meters. We will then transfer to the historical village of **Potes** (291m), located in the massif’s southern slope, in Cantabria, where we will be lodged the last 3 riding days.

For your reference, I will take groups of a **minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 6** on this tour. Given the technical difficulty of Picos de Europa’s slopes, participants must be **advanced riders**.

6-day splitboarding trip in Picos de Europa

During this **6-day ski mountaineering trip in Picos de Europa**, you will enjoy fantastic ascents and descents. The first three days we will be in an small mountain village of **Picos de Europa** in Sotres, Asturias. There, we will ski on positive and negative vertical drops between 1.000 and 1.300 meters of altitude.

For the next three days, we will move to Potes (Cantabria), a historical villa on the southern slope of **Picos de Europa mountain range**. From here, we will enjoy more and more ascents.

Here you have more details about this amazing **ski mountaineering trip of 6 days**:

*   Weather conditions in the **Picos de Europa** belong to a maritime mountain climate, with heavy snow rainfalls from 1.000 meters. The snow quality is quite changeable due to the influence and proximity to the **Cantabrian sea**.
    
*   The ski level for this kind of programs is advanced.
    
*   The slopes are between 900 to 1.300 meters with normally descents of 1.000 or more
    
*   Maximum group size is 6 people, but you can do the activity with a minimum of 2.
    

There are a lot of good things I can mention about this program, but I think the best features are the rugged and steep slopes of these mountains of a modest altitude.
