Guías Experiencias Alpinas

At Alpine Experiences we offer you precisely that: an experience in connection with the natural environment. We believe that the way we choose for it does not matter so much as how we live it. We must take into account the environment and its landscapes in order to fully enjoy them. From there we will decide how to do it:

- Through trekking and hiking : one of the modalities in which anyone has a place. It is about knowing new places while we walk with greater or lesser difficulty depending on the route we have planned. We suggest you start with Sierra Nevada and then open your mind to other locations.

- Through mountain skiing : we will leave the tourist limits of the ski resort to go a little further, accessing areas that remain almost in a virgin state.

- Helped by snowshoes : with certain similarities to the excursions we do with skis but with an even easier material to use.

- Climbing and overcoming a via ferrata : climbing the rock with the strength of our own limbs or assisted by elements that are fixed on the mountain.

In any case, it is essential that you have our qualified guide. Only a professional can, in addition to training and supervising that you use the material well, decide how to act in an unexpected situation.

Sierra Nevada is one of the best winter settings in the entire country and it is precisely the area that we know best in Alpine Experiences . At that time of the year when the snow has reached enough depth to allow us to move on skis, we go out to enjoy it, protecting you with our professional advice in the following ways:

- Cross-country skiing : we organize expeditions in which we leave the defined slopes to go further and discover another version of the mountain. We can take a simple group walk, choose an ascending route or look for the north face and those points where the waterfalls remain frozen with the cold of this season.

- Freeride : a more extreme form of mountain skiing with which we will go down slopes, also outside the marked ones, for which it is necessary to have some control. If we respect that we are facing a natural setting where we will have to watch out for possible rocks and areas of more danger, we will achieve maximum adrenaline skiing in return.

In the event that you prefer to inspect other places, we can prepare a trip to another mountain range.

For Alpine Experiences the routes with snowshoes should be understood as a way to take advantage of all that the mountain offers us. However, it is an activity that, although simple at first glance, cannot be provided in the ideal safety conditions without resorting to a professional guide. This is what we offer you: our expert knowledge so that you can rest easy and enjoy the snowy landscapes safely.

We are more than used to touring Sierra Nevada and all its corners. This allows us to prepare with you a route that does not offer us unpleasant surprises, posing to the group a step so complicated that it is forced to continue advancing. Thanks to our preparation, instead of this we will walk relaxed observing the landscape and its characteristics. Throughout the journey we will have the opportunity for the guide to resolve our doubts.

The main aid to walk on the snowy ground will be the rackets with which we will not sink . Handling them is just a matter of spending the first few minutes checking how it affects our footprint. In no time we will be used to it and ready to inspect the mountain.

At Alpine Experiences we have developed a career as adventure professionals that has led us to see that climbing can be as satisfactory as it is dangerous if you do not know very well what you are doing. Our mission as guides is to bring those who want it closer to this sport with a theoretical basis based on the participant's safety.

Our vertical experiences are offered in Sierra Nevada as the main location from which we work. However, that does not prevent us from going with you to other peaks that you plan to reach through:

- Rock climbing : which can be done in the lowest part of the mountain or in the highest. The decision will depend on whether we are prepared for an activity that has little difficulty or that poses a great challenge as climbers used to this type of ascents.

- Crests and ridges : a form of climbing that is surprising because it has less technical difficulty than it may seem at first glance. Choosing these routes will leave us almost suspended over the void, which increases the feeling of complexity. With our instructions and training you can also overcome them.

With Alpine Experiences you will be living the safest and most rewarding trekking assisted by a mountain guide who is a sports technician. In addition to being an expert in the Sierra Nevada area, where he usually spends most of the year, he can accompany you on those expeditions you've always wanted.

We will tackle this type of excursion in the modalities of hiking and trekking . The first is the most relaxed and easy because it focuses on itineraries with little difficulty. It is perfect for beginners and families accompanied by children.

In the case of trekking, we will climb the mountain walking through a less technical activity than other disciplines. Even so, we will have to strive for the height and unevenness that we will normally face.

If you are in this part of Andalusia we can do a comprehensive excursion through the peaks that make up Sierra Nevada. Other options that we suggest are a route through the Mulhacén, a crossing in the Gredos massif, moving north to see the Picos de Europa or crossing to the border with France in the Pyrenees.

A via ferrata easily becomes the most desirable form of ascent for those not used to climbing. Its routes are so beautiful and exciting that even professional climbers do not hesitate to visit them in different parts of the international national geography. With the Alpine Experiences proposals you will quickly discover why.

With the direction of a qualified guide we are more than qualified to travel with you through the main vertical itineraries of the country. Between them, various levels of complexity are identified. Our mission will be to chat with you first to determine what you expect from this adventure and how you get to us in terms of physical preparation.

Not suffering from vertigo is practically the only requirement to follow a via ferrata. This is so because from the moment we start the path in the mountain we will find elements that will help us move forward. In each ferrata they are placed in a different way but in general it will be common for us to find huge metal staples forming steps, bridges, cables and catwalks that connect one peak to another.
