Have you ever wanted to learn how to properly navigate your way through a mountain range? Then this full day trip is a great option. Moreover, you will get to learn all about navigation in the beautiful Urbasa Range in the Spanish province of Navarra.

There are many great advantages to learning how to properly navigate your way through natural areas. Firstly, it is essential to ensuring your safety, as knowing how to use a compass and map will prevent you from getting lost. It will also help you avoid hazardous areas, which will then prevent potential accidents. Finally, learning how to properly navigate through natural areas will also help you find the best, most scenic places to explore. Thus making your travelling experience even more fun.

About the guide

Mikel

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.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
