This Val d'Aran avalanche course will give you the essential knowledge to enjoy snowed mountains safely.
Although many people think that going hiking or skiing on powder is just having fun, it can be dangerous too. This Avalanche course will teach you different techniques to analyze better the snow conditions. Please note that this course can only be taught in Spanish.
Because avalanches can happen under lots of conditions, this course will be oriented according to your interests. That's why I'll work with small groups and I'll shape the program for you.
This is fundamental course if you want to start going out into the wild. And this information should be the first you know, even before learning how to ski, climb or hike in the mountain.
The course will teach first how to analyze properly the snow conditions to understand the risk of avalanches. Then I'll show you how to search and find buried victims, use the transceiver, shovel and probe correctly and other protocols to follow if an avalanche occurs.
So please contact me to make this Val d'Aran avalanche course happen. And please specify any requests that you may have, so I can make the proper arrangements in advance.
And if you’d like to check out some of my other courses, please take a look at my Val d’Aran introductory alpine course or my 2-day Val d’Aran introductory off piste skiing course.

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.
