Description

Calling all rock climbers to Spain! Join me on this 1 day adventure rock climbing the Peña de Fresnidiello!

The Peña de Fresnidiello is located in the Picos de Europa (meaning “peaks of Europe”) in Northern Spain. Only located 20 kilometers from the coast, the region is home to many beautiful landscapes and animal species, much of which you will get to see as you rock climb way up on the Peña de Fresnidiello.

The Peña de Fresnidiello is a vertical and limestone climbing wall within the serene Picos de Europa. As a climber, you will be able to scale about 315 meters, giving you a breathtaking view of the surrounding scenery, such as the valley of the river Duje and nearby mountains.

This excursion is only offered for 1-2 participants at a time, which gives you plenty of hands-on help from a local guide! The climbing route has a difficulty level of V+, so please be aware of this when signing up.
Request to book this trip if you have always wanted to rock climb in the Picos de Europa!

AEGM-UIMLA Guide from Spain

I did my first steps as a mountaineer as a teenager in Madrid. But the desire to enjoy all the possibilities given by the mountains convinced me to move to Benasque valley, at the heart of the Pyrenees.

Along the years I did several winter and summer activities not only in the Pyrenees, but also in Picos de Europa, Sierra Nevada, Sistema Central...

One of my passions is to travel and discover new places and cultures, so I did climbing trips to other European countries, USA, Canada, Morocco, India, Nepal, Kirguistán... This trips gave me a priceless experience that made me grow as a climber, and set the stone to my formation as professional mountain guide.

I now live in Cantabria, and usually guide both in summer and winter in the Cantabrian range.

We had a great time climbing in Picos!!

We had a great time with the two-day route through Picos de Europa. Our guide Fran has given us a treatment that goes beyond the personal... he has taken care of us, he has taught us lots of tricks, he has made us overcome this physical and psychological challenge we were facing and he has made us fall in love with Picos when we saw it with his eyes. The experience has been so incredible that I am sure I will always remember it. Thank you so much for everything Fran!

The staff at Picos a Vista is exceptional, very knowledgeable about Picos de Europa, flexible and willing. Fran, the guide who did our activity, 100% recommendable. We will definitely come back.

Thanks to Picos A Vista and especially to our guide Fran, we enjoyed a great day of climbing in Picos! Fran has taken care of every detail to make the whole day amazing, looking forward to repeat soon!
