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 to do it is not so important but how we live it. We must take into account the environment and its landscapes 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 getting to know new places while we walk with more or less difficulty depending on the route we have planned. We suggest starting with Sierra Nevada to later open our minds 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.

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

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

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

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

- Ski touring: we organize expeditions in which we leave the delimited 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 descend along slopes, also outside the marked ones, for which it is necessary to have a certain control. If we respect that we are in front of a natural area where we will have to watch for possible rocks and more dangerous areas, we will in return achieve maximum adrenaline while skiing.

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

For Alpine Experiences snowshoe routes should be understood as a way to take advantage of everything that the mountains offer us. However, it is an activity that, although simple at first glance, cannot be performed in the ideal safety conditions if a professional guide is not used. This is what we offer you: our expert knowledge so that you can rest assured and safely enjoy the snowy landscapes.

We are more than used to traveling through Sierra Nevada and all its corners. This allows us to prepare with you a route that does not offer us unpleasant surprises by presenting the group with a step so complicated that they are forced to continue moving forward. Thanks to our preparation, instead of this we will walk relaxed observing the landscape and its characteristics. Throughout the way we will have the opportunity for the guide to answer our questions.

The main help to walk on the snowy ground will be the snowshoes with which we will not sink. Handling them is nothing more than a matter of spending the first few minutes checking how it affects our footprint. In a short time we will be accustomed 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 satisfying as it is dangerous if you don't 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 safety of the participant.

Our vertical experiences are offered in Sierra Nevada as the primary 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 ones. The decision will depend on whether we are prepared for an activity that is hardly difficult or that poses a great challenge to us as climbers accustomed to this type of ascents.

- Crests and ridges: a form of climbing that is surprising because it is less technically difficult 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 experiencing the safest and most rewarding hiking 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 that you have always wanted.

We will approach this type of excursions 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 who are 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 make an effort due to the height and slope that we will normally face.

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

A via ferrata easily becomes the most appealing form of ascent for those who are not used to climbing. Its routes are so beautiful and exciting that even professional climbers do not hesitate to travel 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 capable of traveling with you along the main vertical routes in the country. Among them various levels of complexity are identified. Our mission will be to chat with you beforehand to determine what you expect from this adventure and how you reach us in terms of physical preparation.

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