Guided Walks
The walks in our area are simply stunning. We have a huge choice at our disposal form full day (6-7 hours), to ½ day (3 hours) and even 1-hour walks. Being in the mountains we measure in hours, not kilometers (km), as 1km flat is very different to 1km elevated! We tailor the walks to the group, always considering the weather forecasts before finalizing our daily routes.
We use only local Spanish qualified mountain guides (see our Responsible Travel Philosophy). Carefully selected by us, they share our passion for the area where we live. Alberto is our lead guide, extremely experienced, having been a mountain guide in the Aragon Pyrenees for the last 20 years. He is an official Ordesa National Park guide and specializes in educating groups on the flora and fauna of the Pyrenees, as well as the geology and the environment. He has a great sense of humour and speaks English.
Juan or Juanma as we call him, is a qualified mountain guide like Alberto, and completed his training with Alberto. Born in Zaragoza he fell in love with the Pyrenees as a child. He always has a smile on his face and is perfect company on any day. Having been a teacher in Canada, before following his heart to the mountains, his English is excellent.
