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 closer to everyone.

For this, they offer the possibility of practicing all kinds 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 glide 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 and 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 training.

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

- Canyoning: runs through the canyons that have been piercing the rivers in the stone. This is one of the most complete activities that can be done outdoors, since it combines climbing, swimming, jumping into the water, hiking, rappelling, etc.

- Ski: learn to ski in Sierra Nevada with courses for 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, crossing 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 impulse of the wind) and paragliding (due to the shape of the kite that is used). Learn to do this activity with Global Mountain Kitesurf, a company specialized in organizing courses for this increasingly popular sport on all the world's beaches.

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

After that 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 this part is mastered, you will enter the water to do the first body drag exercises (the technique to float with the kite but without a board, in the position prior to kitesurfing itself is called this).

Finally, you will be able to learn the water-star technique to, finally, get up on the board and slide on the waves.

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

Canyoning is one of the most popular and complete active tourism experiences. It consists of going through the bed of a river 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 of 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 in order to continue. In these ravines it is an essential requirement to know how to swim. Apart from that, canyoning does not require any previous experience as there are canyons of all levels.

Some of the options that 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 Malaga. 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, more than anything because it has a slope that goes from 1,200 meters to 300. Even so, with the help of monitors can be explored by practically anyone without too much trouble.

Enjoy a day outdoors doing something different and encourage 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 station is one of the best in Europe, and has all kinds of services and amenities, as well as 2,500 hectares of skiable area: nursery, banks, cinema, doctor, cafeterias ... The total number of kilometers of track 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 according to his 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 graduates and with a lot of experience, 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 more advanced courses will go down the red and even black slopes, but those groups with a lower level do not have to do more difficult slopes than the blue ones.

Waking up in the morning and seeing a snowfall is 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 walk it quietly, accompanied only by the noises of nature.

Snowshoes are special footwear that allow people to ride through deep snow without sinking excessively. In this way, it is a perfectly useful and safe means of moving on snowy surfaces without too much effort. Logically, they require a short adaptation period, but once you learn the basic techniques you will have no problem progressing.

The routes are made throughout the Spanish geography through forests, valleys, forest paths 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.

You can also design tailor-made tours to better adapt to the needs or wishes of the group.

Global Mountain Trekking offers the possibility of walking routes around the Alcalá de Guadaira area (Seville), which is where the company has its facilities. Go ahead and enjoy nature while doing sports with a good walk through the countryside.

The routes offered by Global Mountain are mainly two:

- Sierra Norte de Sevilla: This route of minimal difficulty passes first of all through the abandoned mining enclaves of Cerro del Hierro, where you will be surprised by the spectacular nature of the landscape. To get there, you have to travel the Vía Verde, an old railway line that today is a very beautiful natural enclave. You will also know 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. For this reason, transportation from Alcalá de Guadaira is included, both for the outward and the return journey. The most characteristic of 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, others can also be designed to measure with one or more days of duration.

Climbing is a very beautiful sport, but it is important to do it with the right technique because it can be dangerous.

They will tell you the best techniques so that little by little you progress and you can, in the end, climb on your own.
