Today I bring an interesting alternative to the traditional Carros de Foc route, one of the most popular routes in the Pyrenees. Although it is usually done in 5 days, I offer a shorter version for those who don’t have too much time in the area.
Visiting the key huts and enjoying the best powder runs as the normal route, we’ll make the tour in only 4 days.
With our splitboards on, we’ll travel through the Aigües Tortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. It’s a Catalan mountain area with peaks over 3000 meters in height and around 200 lakes.
The starting point of this northern Carros de Foc expedition will be Arties. From there we will visit important mountain huts such as Ventosa, Estany Llong and Saboredo.
Each day we will also have optional ascents such as Montardo (2833 m), La Creu de Colomers (2896 m) or Pic de Portarró (2736 m). These ascents imply a climb up on splitboards to then enjoy a long snowboard descent to the next mountain refuge.
So I will be waiting for your contact. Send your request to book now!

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.
