Global Mountain

Global Mountain was created more than 6 years ago (in 2007). The company has its facilities in Alcalá de Guadaira, in the province of Seville, and was created with the aim of bringing adventure sports to everyone.

To do this, they offer the possibility of practicing all types of outdoor activities, either individually or combining several. Some of the possible options are:

- Kitesurfing: It is not surfing or windsurfing or paragliding, but it has a little bit of all of them. Learn to slide through the sea propelled by a kite and try to do jumps and pirouettes.

- Hiking: Take the best routes through the Alcalá de Guadaira area and the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. You will always be accompanied by specialized monitors who are knowledgeable about the area.

- Climbing: Get started in this exciting sport that hooks everyone who tries it. There are courses for all levels, from beginners to advanced improvement.

- BTT: Get to know the region on a mountain bike accompanied by an instructor who knows the area. Nature, exercise and adventure come together in a single activity.

- Canyoning: explore the canyons that the rivers have carved into the rock. This is one of the most complete activities that can be done outdoors, as it combines climbing, swimming, jumping into the water, hiking, rappelling, etc.

- Ski: learn to ski in Sierra Nevada with courses of all levels and for all ages.

- Snowshoes: Snowshoes are a very original and different activity. You will be able to walk through the snow without much physical effort, traveling through incredible landscapes.

Kitesurfing is a spectacular sport that is born from the combination of elements of surfing (the board), windsurfing (the turning technique and the momentum of the wind) and paragliding (due to the shape of the kite used). Learn how to do this activity with Global Mountain Kitesurf, a company specialized in organizing courses for this increasingly popular sport on all the beaches in the world.

The course is presented as a gradual experiencefrom scratch to being able to surf without the supervision of instructors. The idea is that everyone can sign up, regardless of their previous experience. The first thing you will learn will be surf theory and notions about the strength of the wind, safety maneuvers, etc.

After this first theoretical part you will do the first practices with sailing on the beach. Here you can check how the wind pulls, the weight of the sail, how to move it, etc. Once you have mastered this part, you will enter the water to do the first body drag exercises (this is the name given to the technique for floating with the kite but without a board, in the position prior to kitesurfing itself).

Finally, you can learn the water-star technique to finally get up on the board and slide over the waves.

All the necessary equipment will be supplied by Global Mountain, in the same way that you will have the supervision of their monitors at all times.

Canyoning is one of the most popular and complete active tourism experiences. It consists of traveling along a river bed on foot, having to overcome all kinds of obstacles such as waterfalls, slides, jumps, pools...Global Mountain Canyoning offers you the opportunity to practice this adventure sport in different ravines in Andalusia and the Aragonese Pyrenees.

The ravines can be dry or aquatic. The latter always have some section in which you have to swim or, at least, get wet to be able to continue. In these ravines it is an essential requirement to know how to swim. Apart from that, canyoning does not require any type of previous experience since there are canyons of all levels.

Some of the options you can choose are:

- Arroyo Majales: this ravine has a very low level of difficulty and is located in the Serranía de Ronda, in the province of Málaga. It is perfect for those who have never done this activity before and want to have a first contact.

- Sima del Diablo: Don't be scared by the name of this ravine, since its difficulty is also very low and anyone can do it. It is also located in Serrania de Ronda (Málaga) and stands out for its spectacular views.

- Río Verde: this ravine is in Granada and its difficulty is somewhat higher than the previous ones, mostly because it has a slope that goes from 1,200 meters to 300. Still, with the help of the monitors, practically anyone can go through it without too many problems.

Enjoy a day outdoors doing something different and go canyoning.

Finally learn to ski with Global Mountain Esquí, which organizes both ski and snowboard courses in the Sierra Nevada ski resort, in the province of Granada.

The resort is one of the best in Europe, and has all kinds of services and amenities, in addition to 2,500 hectares of skiable area: nursery, banks, cinema, doctor, cafes... The total number of kilometers of piste is 87, divided on 5 black slopes, 36 red slopes, 35 blue slopes and 11 green slopes. This allows each skier to always be on slopes that match their level, so you can enjoy without worrying.
The same goes for ski courses. They are designed for all people, of any age. The instructors are all qualified and very experienced, and their main objective is for students to learn to ski independently as quickly as possible so that they can enjoy practicing this sport whenever they want. The most advanced courses will go down the red and even black slopes, but those groups of lower level do not have to do more difficult slopes than the blue ones.

Waking up in the morning and seeing that snow has fallen is something magical. The landscape looks totally different when it is completely white and covered in snow. With Global Mountain Snowshoes in addition to contemplating it, you can also explore it peacefully, accompanied only by the noises of nature.

Snowshoes are special footwear that allow people to walk through deep snow without sinking excessively. In this way, it is a perfectly useful and safe means to advance on snowy surfaces without too much effort. Logically, they require a short adaptation period, but once you learn the basic techniques you will not have any problem progressing.

The routes are made throughout the Spanish geography, covering forests, valleys, forest roads or tracks, mountain slopes...The important thing is to exercise and be able to enjoy the views and the landscape. There are already a series of pre-designed routes, all of different levels but always with the aim of providing customers with a pleasant and fun experience. This means that at no time will you have to suffer or be physically exhausted.

Customized tours can also be designed to better adapt to the needs or desires of the group.

Global Mountain Senderismo offers the possibility of taking walking routes around the area of Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville), which is where the company has its facilities. Dare to enjoy nature while doing sports with a good walk in the countryside.

The routes offered by Global Mountain are mainly two:

- Sierra Norte de Sevilla: This route of minimal difficulty runs first through the abandoned mining enclaves of Cerro del Hierro, where you will be surprised by the spectacular landscape. To get there you have to take the Greenway, an old railway line that today is a very beautiful natural enclave. You will also visit the town of San Nicolás del Puerto and the Huezar waterfalls among other places of interest.

- Sierra de Grazalema: this route does not have any difficulty either, and runs through the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, in the province of Cádiz. Therefore, transportation from Alcalá de Guadaira is included, both for the round trip and for the return trip. The most characteristic thing about this route are the fantastic corners that you can find thanks to the help of the guides who accompany you.

In addition to these two routes, other custom routes can also be designed with one or several days duration.

Climbing is a very beautiful sport, but it is important to do it with the proper technique because otherwise it can be dangerous. The Global Mountain Climbing courses will help you learn or improve your skills and thus be able to practice this activity without any danger. The activity takes place in the Altos de Benaoján area, in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park (province of Málaga). There you can climb routes on vertical walls.

So that everyone can try climbing one day and see what sensations they feel, there is an initiation course. In this course, all the operation of the material, the different techniques, and very basic practices are explained very briefly so that people can see if they like climbing or not and want to continue deepening their practice. We already anticipated that the majority do get hooked on this mountain sport.

In addition to the introductory course, there are also longer courses that, above all, go much deeper into the teaching of this discipline. You will have the supervision and support of the instructors at all times, all of whom are experts and qualified. They will show you the best techniques so that little by little you progress and you can, in the end, climb on your own.

You decide if you just want to try or if you really want to learn.

There are more and more fans of mountain biking, also known as mountain biking or BTT (all-terrain bicycle). Taking bicycle routes is a perfect way to discover new places while you exercise. Global Mountain BTT offers the possibility of doing all-terrain bike routes around Alcalá de Guadaira, a town where the company has its facilities.

The routes offered are always personalized and based on the profile of each group. In general, we seek to combine sport with enjoyment, so the routes usually have a very low level of physical demand. The important thing is to have a good time exploring nature, not having to have a bad time because of the hardness of the route. Therefore, groups can be of all ages and conditions.

However, those cyclists who want more difficult routes to test themselves can also hire tours of this type.

Each route is guided by one or more Global Mountain instructors, who are in charge of the safety of the entire group and of enlivening the route. Material is also provided by Global Mountain. Dare to pedal and discover new landscapes.
