Guies Vall Fosca

At Guies Vall Fosca we have the entire annual calendar organized with adventures that fit into each of the months of the year. Thus, whatever time you visit us, we can propose a new adventure with which you extract all the value of the valley, its lakes and its peaks. Some of them:

- Via ferratas : the simplest way of ascent because, not only do we help ourselves with our arms and legs as in climbing, but it is the rock itself, with elements such as catwalks or staples, the that serves as our main support.

- Ravines of all kinds : what we are most proud of is that we do not leave anyone out of the practice of canyoning. We have planned our descents in special levels so that the children can tackle them. If they are 7 years old or older, they can already do it with you. Those of you who are already more than used to the activity can choose those canyons that you still do not know.

- Snowshoes : winter offers us a new opportunity to see how mountains are transformed. Walking quietly, with the rackets that we lend you, you will be witnesses of it first hand.

- Hiking : the thaw and the greenery that appears again over the area, will allow us to reach great routes such as the lakes. Up to 32 dotted these mountains, we can choose between which ones to visit as part of our excursions.

All our activities are complemented by other simpler ones, such as archery, which you can request at our facilities.

What we like the most at Guies Vall Fosca about the ravines that we work with in this area is that they are easily adaptable to all levels and, therefore, to all ages. With us you will not have to give up seeing a river from inside its channel because you come as a family or because you do not dare with a challenge that could become too demanding for you.

In La Vall Fosca we will find an area in which nature has been preserved practically intact that we can see through:

- A junior canyoning: with only 7 years old you can participate in this section that has no complexity, if you give up those water slides on the rock that we like so much. Of course adults are equally welcome, that is why it is the one we most recommend for families.

- Standard canyoning: there are several that respond to characteristics that allow us to group them at a medium-low level. Any adult can face them, as is the case with Viu de Llevata or Flamisell.

There is also the possibility of you being the one to tell us which ravine you want to know. You only have to tell us the area because we know the canyons that await us in it.

At Guies Vall Fosca we have so much experience throughout the area that the time of year matters little or whether the snow is the protagonist of these landscapes. We adapt to the terrain and we go with you if what you want is to take advantage of the winter circumstances to put on your skis.

Do you want to know what we can do for you when the mountain turns white ?:

- Climb to prominent peaks in a journey whose objective will be to locate the best routes for the descent. In this way you will be skiing without having to resort to the occasional saturation that the slopes of the ski resorts suffer.

- Discover each of the mountains of Vall Fosca. Taking into account the weather reports, you will only have to choose if you want to explore the best known names, such as the Arán Valley or Alt Àneu, or dare with others such as Montsent de Pallars.

Of course, always keep in mind that to have a good time we will have to adapt the place to which we want to reach your level in this sport, as well as the physical stamina you have.

Get away from the idea that in winter you can't walk in the mountains because of the snow. For those of us who are part of Guies Vall Fosca, this is nothing more than an advantage that adds beauty to our itinerary and allows us to enjoy it with a new element: snowshoes.

Prepare your personal material before coming. The best thing is that you do not forget the sun cream, even if it is not in summer, that you warm yourself well, that you bring boots in which the water does not drain and a backpack in which to store what you need. The rackets are here waiting for you, along with the poles that help us to move forward. Now that we are ready, you have to decide between:

- An adventure of only half a day : it is the one we recommend the most for the first few times. It consists of simple paths that already leave us the first impressions of the environment without having to move too far from the starting point or complicate the journey too much.

- An excursion in which we will spend the whole day : we gain in unevenness and we are leading you through different points in which the progression technique acquires different nuances that we will reveal to you on the ground.

If you simply want to have our equipment, rent our rackets and poles. We have availability from sizes for children starting from number 27.

In Guies Vall Fosca what we do best is reflected in our name, acting as guides and accompanying you on hiking expeditions so that you can take back home all the details of our environment.

Having professionals for your excursion has two great advantages: you will be safe because you are not in danger of getting lost or taking the wrong path; On the other hand, you will reach the most interesting points that only those of us who are used to visiting these places know. Some of them are:

- Interlagos: Vall Fosca is made up of more than thirty lakes. This time we have prepared an itinerary for you to meet 18 of them. To get there, we will go up by cable car.

- Lakes of Gento, Coromina and Mar Frescau: in this outing we will introduce you to the way of life that we saw here decades, even centuries ago. It is somewhat shorter, normally not exceeding 4 hours.

- From Estany to Capdella: the cable car once again supports us for an ascent that exceeds 2000 meters in height. We will walk along the carrilet, previously used for the transport of material.

From Guies Vall Fosca we know that archery is one of the sports that you most want to try at any time. In it all are advantages: in simple, it has practically no age limit and it is necessary to be at a certain physical point. It is perfect if you come to practice activities with us and want to complement them without complicating yourself.

- Concentration first : if something comes into play in archery, it is your mind. Relax, breathe and stare at the target. The more focused you are on her, the closer you will get to the center of her with each shot.

- The bows of a lifetime : although we use recurved bows, which facilitate our function even more, we practice the classic modality, without additions. It will be in this one in which we will start you creating, surely, a new addiction and desire to improve yourself and continue trying until you achieve the best score.

- Facilities ready during all seasons : we can practice on any date, in our own adventure complex. If you come warm in the winter months or with a cap in times when the sun is more aggressive, it is more than enough.

You can hire simple 60-minute sessions but as soon as you try it, you will want to purchase our 10-hour vouchers.

In Guies Vall Fosca we are going to discover that there is a really simple way to ascend to the most beautiful peaks in this part of Lleida. Without having to count on the skills of the climbers, you will have some of the sensations that they experience through the via ferratas in which we will accompany you.

The best thing about opting for this discipline is that the complexity is eliminated thanks to the previous equipment that the walls that will be part of our expedition have. Possibly from below you have never noticed, but there are sections in the mountain with staples, walkways, even stairs, which make the ascent a real walk in which the only factor to take into account is vertigo. We will do it like this:

- Leaving with a guide who will attend a maximum of 4 participants. So we can closely monitor your way forward and help you if you feel stuck or overwhelmed at some point.

- Taking the precise safety material with us. We will help you to put it on and use it as it should be so that we return in one piece.

Remember that you have to come dressed in mountaineering clothing and sports shoes with which you can move your feet well.
