Description

Are you looking for an unforgettable skiing adventure in the Pyrenees? Then this trip is for you! Join me for a 4-day trip and ski with an expert guide and a professional in Val d’Aran!

Val d’Aran is a beautiful valley located in the heart of the Pyrenees, in the Spanish province of Lleida. It is home of Baqueira-Beret, the biggest and most famous ski resort in Spain. With its many untracked areas and top-quality powder snow, this destination is perfect for freeride lovers.

On this tour, we will explore amazing terrain with an expert local guide. In addition, a Freeride World Tour skier will join us for two days to share with some awesome descents with us!

During four days, we will ski at Baqueira Beret and Val d’Aran reaching both famous spots and some remote areas (a heliskiing day is in the menu). We will work on ascent and descent techniques, so you will surely improve your level!  Furthermore, at the end of our adventure, you will receive a professional video with the highlights of the trip!

Keep in mind that this tour is only suitable for advanced skiers with a good fitness level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way!

So, if you want to come to the Pyrenees for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, please contact me. Let’s ski with a pro and explore the unique Val d’Aran area!

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.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
