Description

Would you like to enjoy a quick winter getaway in Val d’Aran and discover the best places to ski in the Pyrenees? Then this all-inclusive program is just for you. We will tailor your itinerary to your needs and have all the logistics taken care of you so that you can focus on having a great time.

The Pyrenees stretch for 500km and outline a natural border between Spain and France. The highest mountains are located in the center, with Aneto Peak at an altitude of 3,404 meters (11,168 feet) as the highest of the range. Val d’Aran is located in this stunning area of high mountains and is a unique territory for ski lovers. Its special orientation ensures much higher levels of snowfall than the rest of the Pyrenees, making winters long and the quality of the snow exceptional.

Val d’Aran borders 3 natural parks: Aigüestortes, Maladeta, and Alt Pirineu. There is a wide variety of skiing routes and you can enjoy skiing on alpine terrain, tree-lines, open valleys, peaks, all in an exceptional environment, and far from the crowds. Val d’Aran is also a unique place in terms of history, culture, and gastronomy.

Baqueira Beret is located in the region and one of the world’s best ski resorts.  A motivated local guide will show you why it’s gained the reputation of being a Freeride Paradise. Long descents starting at an altitude of 2500m down to 1400m comprising open easy slopes, forests, valleys, gullies, and couloirs are part of its appeal. Some of the best out-of-bounds bowls like Montgarri, Ruda, or Bagergue will delight you.

Below you will find a tentative itinerary for this exciting weekend getaway. We will spend an average of 6 hours per day out on the snow and cover around 15km of terrain, and 1300m elevation gain. We can personalize the program to tailor to your preferences and needs. Keep in mind that we will spend 3 nights and 2 full days skiing in the area, but that you should account as well for a day of arrival and a day of departure.

So, are you ready for an unforgettable all-inclusive ski touring weekend getaway this winter? Then contact us now and let’s start planning an amazing trip together!

Excellent accompagnement, aussi bien avant la journée par mail, que le jour même. Yvan nous a amené à un site magnifique, et a prodigué d'excellents conseils à mon fils. Nous avons passé une excellente journée

Jeanne

Super ! Nous avons passé une excellente après-midi avec Willy ! Nous avons eu des conseils et des recommandations pour pouvoir continuer la pratique de via ferrata. Je recommande vivement cette expérience

Lena

We had a very exciting day with Willy! We had never done a via ferrata before and did Pont-a-Lesse and Marche-les-Dames in one day. Willy explained the different techniques very well and adapted to our wishes and the circumstances perfectly. Gauthier adviced us in the beginning correctly that Marche-les-Dames would be better for us than Les-Grandes-Malades in terms of difficulty. Overall we were very happy with the choice, spend a great day outdoors and can definitely recommend this adventure!

Robert

We had a really fantastic day of bouldering in Fontainebleau with our guide Ivan. He is very experienced and knows the region well. He showed us great boulders and routes that we would not have found on our own, and kept a good pace to keep us going for the full six hours.
