Description

Today I would like to invite you to the incredible via ferrata El Castellaso.

Although it is not as famous as many others in Spain, it is a really great option for those who are taking their first steps in this activity. El Castellaso is located a few kilometers from the village of Sesué. It's a Spanish municipality of Huesca in Aragon. In addition, El Castellaso lies in the heart of the Pyrenees, offering the most stunning views.

Once we arrive at the base of El Castellaso, we will prepare all the necessary gear. Therefore, you should not forget to bring harness, helmet, dissipators, gloves and comfortable clothing.

The via ferrata El Castellaso is ideal for beginners thanks to its easy and well equipped routes. We will climb a total of 280 meters with an altitude change of only 180 meters.

The adventure will not take us more than 2 hours and it is available all year round. It is also a great option to combine with other via ferratas in the area, such as this program in Foradada del Toscar.

If you are planning to come to the Pyrenees you cannot miss this chance. Contact me for further details and I will help you organize your next via ferrata trip!

About the guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide and Paragliding Instructor from Spain

I've been working as a mountain guide for the past 30 years. I've done ascents in the Pyrenees, Alps and Himalayas, including Chooyu (8201m), Ama Dablam (6820m), Mera Peak (6461m, 9 ascents), Stock Kangri (6153m, 8 ascents) and Lenin Peak (7134m).

I live in Castejón de Sos, in Benasque valley (Huesca), near the highest peaks of the Pyrenees. There I guide ascents and traverse during summer and winter, doing ski touring, alpinism, rock climbing and trekking.

I also organize trekkings and ascents in the Alps, India and Nepal.

My other passion is paragliding, which I do since 1986. I'm a tandem pilot, and organize programs in Spain and Nepal for pilots.

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

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
