Description

Join me on this adventure to explore one of the best routes for splitboarding in the Pyrenees. Discover Carros de Foc on this 5-day hut to hut trip.

Carros de Foc is one of the most popular ski and snowboarding routes in the Pyrenees. Even though it is not the highest or the most demanding one, its popularity relies on the infrastructure of its mountain refuges. The way they are located allows you to complete the whole route in small sections. So, during this 5-day trip, we’ll tour around it, stopping in different huts to recharge our batteries each night and go on with our adventure.

Located inside the Aigüestortes and Sant Maurici National Park, in the Pyrenees, Carros de Foc is a highlight in the Lérida province, in the western part of Catalonia.

During this great adventure, we’ll splitboard across the Aran Valley. Then, we’ll explore the Ribagorza region.

I will take you to some of the most beautiful mountain huts in the continent, like: 

  • Amitges (2,310 m)

  • Ventosa i Calvell (2,220 m)

  • Colomers (2,100 m)

  • Estany Llong (2,000 m).

But there are five other incredible refuges we’ll visit, ranging from 1,900 to 2,400 meters of height!

The many options that Carros de Foc offers make it an ideal place for a trip like this. Although the itinerary is set for 5 days, we can discuss your requests and adapt the trip to your desires. So we can add or take out days. We can also visit other refuges if you so desire. My goal is that you have an amazing time here, while being safe.

So don’t hesitate. Send me a request, and I’ll gladly review the itinerary with you. I want you to have an unforgettable experience splitboarding in the Pyrenees.

If you are looking for another kind of adventure. I recommend you this Canyoning trip in the Pyrenees I also guide.

Mountain Guide

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide and Canyoning Guide from Spain

Although I was born in the city, I was always in contact with the outdoors. My first steps on the mountain led me to the vertical world, rock climbing. Then came the ice climbing, mountaineering and skiing. These activities allowed me travel all over the world, especially Asia, Europe and Africa.

I consider The Pyrenees as the perfect place to live and a great field with the necessary ingredients to enjoy great wild activities. But I also enjoy and travel to other massifs, mainly to the Alps, also to the Atlas, and ocassionaly to other ranges around the world.

I’m an international UIAGM mountain guide, canyoning guide and ski instructor as well. I work as independent guide, which allows me to work following my own philosophy and values.

So far I have 16 years of experience as guide, and a few more as mountaineer. I enjoy all the mountain-related activities, but for guiding and as a sport. That’s why I’d like to show you the mountains the way I see them, without fixed structures but enjoying them with freedom and in a pleasurable way.

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.
