On this tour, we will follow this 55-meter-long route and splitboard for 5-6 hours each day. The route has an altitude change of 9,200 meters, offering thousands of options for exciting descents. Some of the summits we will explore include: Montardo (2,833 m.), La Creu de Colomers (2,896 m.), Pic de Mariolo (2,856 m.), Pic dela Mainera (2,904 m.), Pic Monestero (2,877 m.), Tuc de la Ratera (2,863 m.) and Tuc de la Gran Sendrosa (2,703 m.). Make sure to check the itinerary below for more details on the huts we will visit.

Because we will spending long days out in the mountains you will need a good fitness level. It is also best if you have previous experience. But it will not all be hard work. Carros de Foc is surrounded by large granite walls and woods with green pines. It is one of the most beautiful spots in the Pyrenees. We will not only have a great time splitboarding, but also enjoy the landscape which is simply stunning.

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide based in the Pyrenees

I grew up by the seaside, but since the age of 9 I started going to the mountains. And since then, I never stopped.

I learned about freedom from philosophy, physics and maths, and then the mountains showed it to me.

I get new knowledge from forming new guides, studying mountain medicine, and training body and mind. But going to the mountains give me the reflexes.

From top level climbing, alpine style 8000s peaks, skiing and snowboarding, opening routes from the Arctic to the Antarctic, passing through the Himalayas and climbing in the desert and the jungle, from the Patagonian Ice to Vietnam: The important thing is not where you get, the important thing is to go.

I’m based in Benasque, in the Pyrenees, but consider myself a nomad. I just expect the rain or the sun rising every morning to celebrate nature’s cycle, and continue living as part of it.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
