Canyoning is one of the most successful adventure activities among mountain sports fans for many reasons. On the one hand, it is a way to get to know corners and places of nature that could not be accessed any other way. In addition, it is also a very complete and dynamic activity in which it is difficult to get bored since you will have to jump, walk, crouch, climb, rappel and even swim or jump into a pool full of water. Cingles Barranquismo organizes canyoning routes through the Vallcebre area for groups of all levels. You will be able to do a canyon that fits your profile in the company of your friends or family, guided by a qualified monitor:

- Level I ravine: This ravine is recommended for people with little or no experience and also for groups with small children. It runs through the Torrente del Forat Negre de Vallcebre and lasts approximately half a day.

- Level II ravine: The intermediate level ravine is Núria. It is also quite easy, although it does require a minimum of physical condition.

- Level III ravine: the Núria Sencer ravine is an advanced ravine that is mainly used to perfect techniques acquired in previous ravines. It lasts a whole day, and is recommended for canyoners who have a lot of experience.

Snowshoes are the way the Eskimos used to move through snow-covered landscapes. It is very easy to sink through the snow if you do not wear special shoes, and then it is very difficult to walk. Snowshoes solve precisely this problem so that you can walk without sinking thanks to the fact that they have a flat surface and are much larger than normal footwear. Cingles Snowshoes organizes routes using this type of footwear that will allow you to experience what it feels like to advance in this way:

- Initiation route: this route is designed as an introduction to this type of activity. It includes explanations about how to assemble snowshoes, safety rules when walking through landscapes with virgin snow, notions of orientation and interpretation of the landscape taking into account that it is completely snowy and, of course, a snowshoe walk in which you can put into practice everything you have learned.

- Advanced routes: These routes are somewhat more demanding, and are almost always aimed at reaching the top of a mountain. They are explained along the same advanced racket techniques that can be used to advance faster or to overcome certain obstacles.

- Night routes: Walking through the snow at night illuminated by the front light of a helmet and the glow of the moon is a totally different experience from what you have been able to do before and very amazing.

Walking through the countryside is very healthy and healthy. There are people who do it casually, taking short walks outdoors, but there are people who take it more seriously and go on authentic hiking routes. Cingles Senderismo is aimed precisely at this last audience for whom it plans routes of different routes and durations through the different places in the province of Barcelona:

- Initiation route: On this route you can learn all kinds of tricks and tips that you can use whenever you are going to walk through the countryside (orientation, interpretation of the landscape, identification of fauna and flora, etc. .). The Cingles guide will show you the most notable places along the route so you don't miss anything.

- Night route: nature changes a lot whether it is seen during the day or at night. The noises are different, the landscape looks different, and it even seems like the air has a different texture. You will be able to advance along the paths illuminated by a headlight and by the clarity of the moon.

- Hiking through the Pyrenees: The routes through the Pyrenees are designed for walkers who already have some experience since some of the sections can be very steep. They last several days and are a great way to disconnect and forget about the usual routine.

- Smugglers' route and thermal baths: this ancient route was followed by many smugglers to go from France to Spain. Along it you can enjoy the Lló hot springs.

For some people, climbing gives them a lot of respect. It is a sport that, seen from the outside, seems very complicated when seeing the climbers advance up the wall very slowly and very carefully. When they finally dare to try climbing, they discover that it is a much more accessible sport than it seems, especially if you have good teachers who explain the tricks and techniques well. With Cingles Escalada you have the opportunity to take an introductory climbing course in the area of Sant Juliá de Cerdanyola, in the province of Barcelona, and see how high you can get.

The Cingles course is structured as a complete course for people who want to get started in the world of climbing. The idea is to teach the student from scratch the basic notions and techniques of this sport so that, once the classes are completed, they can do climbing on their own, at a very simple level.

The figure of the teacher is key. Climbing is a sport that can create a lot of insecurity and tension. Therefore, an important part of the instructor's work has to do with psychology and knowing how to instill confidence in the student's abilities and possibilities. Cingles teachers are all qualified professionals who have a lot of experience in the field of teaching climbing. In addition, students will have all the necessary material at their disposal, which will be provided by Cingles.

With Cingles if what you want is to find out what your aim is like, you can do it by trying one of our archery sessions. It is one of the most attractive and simple disciplines that we can offer you because:

- You are all admitted: whether you are all adults, you come with children, and regardless of age, archery has no limitations. It is simply a matter of making sure the material is appropriate for each one of you, and our instructors take care of that.

- It's fun and simple to learn: although we agree that hitting the bullseye takes practice and doesn't usually happen the first time, unless it's a matter of luck, the basic concepts are not difficult to assimilate. That's why you can shoot from the moment we start the activity, without major preparations. Yes, there will be, of course, indications from the monitors that, in addition to being necessary for safety, will be very interesting and will give you clues to approach your target more easily.

- You can organize a wide variety of games to compete individually or in teams. We will establish a system that will score each of our shots, and thus we will be able to determine a winner at the end of the day.

What is a via ferrata? These mountain tours are a way to get started with climbing for those who want to get closer to this world. Specifically, they consist of climbs up the side of a mountain in which the big difference with traditional climbing is that there are already supports, steps and handholds on the wall whose purpose is to facilitate the climbers' ascent. The via ferrata can therefore be considered an intermediate phase between climbing and high mountain hiking. Try it with Cingles Via Ferrata.

It is a very fun activity that entails practically no danger. Furthermore, it is always done in the company of a qualified monitor who will ensure that no unforeseen events arise. Cingles offersvia ferrata for beginners and also level II via ferrata for people who already have some experienceand are also in acceptable physical condition. All of them pass through the areas of Vallcebre, Llo or Centelles, in the province of Barcelona. Groups must be at least 2 people.

The best thing about caving is that it allows you to explore worlds hidden underground, silent, mysterious and spectacular. Emulate the adventures of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth and explore underground caves and grottoes where you can contemplate strange rock formations.

Cingles Speleology makes it very easy for you with its caving expeditions in the areas of Cerdanya, Cova d'Annes or Fou de Bor. In these places there are caves with routes of all kinds, so that the activity can be adapted both to groups with little experience and to groups of very experienced cavers who already have a lot of practice.

Cingles provides you with all the technical material that you will need to use: helmet with front light, harness, ropes... In addition, the Cingles instructors, who are all qualified professionals, will help you at all times so that you can know where and how to move forward. They will also enlighten you about the history and the different rock formations of the caves, as well as any other interesting element that is worth highlighting.

Cingles BTT gives you the opportunity to take beautiful routes through the Castellar de N´hug area, in the province of Barcelona. The options you have are:

Every time winter comes, the ski resorts are filled with skiers descending the slopes at full speed. There are more and more people who love skiing and the feeling of plowing through powder snow on skis, making elegant turns and enjoying the sensation of speed. Cingles Esquí is a Catalan ski school that wants to bring this sport closer to everyone who may be interested in practicing it. To do this, it offers classes in the Masella and La Molina ski resorts. Both are located in the province of Gerona. The first has 71 skiable kilometers and the second 64. They are therefore perfect medium-sized resorts for people who are learning to ski, with enough variety of slopes to not get bored and try different levels, but not excessively large either. It is very difficult to move from one area to another and the chairlifts are very long.

Cingles classes can be individual or in groups of up to three people. If you have never skied before, you can take an introductory course in which you will learn from scratch, which also includes things as simple but as important as learning to get on and off the chairlift with skis. People who already have a certain level will be able to take improvement courses in which they will be able to go down more complicated, red and green slopes in the company of the teacher. Ultimately, the goal of Cingles is that everyone can practice and improve their level of skiing at their own pace, without pressure or tension and always having fun.
