To enjoy mountaineering in a safe way and avoid accidents, it is important to know how to orient yourself through the territories you want to explore. Learn about orientation with maps and compass in this 1-day course while enjoying the amazing landscapes of north Spain.
Depending on the time of the year, weather, and location of the clients, we can do it in Aralar, Valdezcaray or Sierra de Urbasa in Navarra, in Ezcaray (La Rioja), in Alto Campoo (Cantabria) or in the Pyrenees.
During this course, you will acquire knowledge about theoretical aspects of cartography and compass. Furthermore, we will do some directions practice and then you will be ready to take the lead on a group journey with the rest of your partners.
Finally, remember that is important to bring:
Warm clothes
Trekking boots
Lantern
Food and water
Mobile phone
Compass
A pencil
A ruler
If you enjoy doing mountain activities, I invite you to take this course and learn how to do it in a secure manner.

Mountain Leader
UIMLA Mountain Leader from Spain
As a guide, I like when my clients enjoy and have an active participation, so they can learn to be autonomous in the risk management. With the security as a priority, the client can develop as a mountaineer.
That's why among the activities I offer as a mountain leader, I also have formation courses and free talks about security.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
