Description

My proposal is to invite you on a 2-day snowboarding tour around the Baqueira Beret ski resort located in the heart of the Pyrenees. By exploring the surroundings of this famous Spanish paradise, you will discover the beautiful Aran Valley, its amazing peaks and spectacular backcountry terrain.

Our starting spot will be in the charming Spanish mountain village of Salardú. After an equipment check,  we will direct ourselves to Baqueira Beret where we will spend the day in search of the best quality snow! During these two days,  you will have the opportunity to take advantage of all the infrastructure at our disposal: ski lifts, taxis, snowmobiles as well as mountain skis and mountain snowboarders. Keep in mind that this program may be altered depending on weather conditions or depending on your wishes. You can find a detailed itinerary below!

Regarding our accommodation, we will rest in the beautiful Montgarry Hut where we will relax and enjoy some delicious local food.

Are you ready to explore the Catalan Pyrenees? Then contact me and let’s start planning your trip! I will make sure to accommodate your requests and desires.

Another option to enjoy snowboarding could be this Introductory half day off piste snowboarding course in Baqueira Beret. Check it out!

Itinerary

Day 0: Meeting point in Vielha

Meeting in Vielha for a trip briefing.

Day 1: Salardú- Baqueira Beret

First, we will meet at the parking lot of Salardú at 8:30 am.

After a quick equipment check we will head to Beret. Then, we will spend the day riding  and looking for the best snow depending on weather conditions. Also, we will make two descents since we will have snowmobiles to pick us up.

Finally, we will end the day with a long descent to the refuge of Montgarri where we will stay and rest until the following day.

Day 2: Last day!!!

On our last day we will have different possibilities depending on the group. A very good option will be to ascend to the Paros tuc.

From the summit we will descend to the small town of Bagergue where we can have a snack in one of its restaurants before a taxi returns us to our vehicles.

As always this will depend on weather conditions and your wishes.

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.
