Vía-Libre

If you are interested in mountain and nature sports, Vía-Libre offers you the best way to practice them with its hiking, trekking and multi-adventure activities in an environment of healthy people with whom you will never feel strange but surrounded by friends.

We are an active leisure company that has a team of experienced professionals who will guide you whether you are a beginner or a hiking and climbing professional, prioritizing the safety of all participants in all our activities.

Although we have our headquarters in Cosladaall our activities start from Plaza de Castilla in Madrid, on Mateo Inurria street nº 9, very close to the Plaza de Castilla interchange and the station metro of the same name.

We program simple routes and carry out courses for all levels throughout the year divided into levels of difficulty so that you are clearer about which activity is appropriate for your possibilities:

- Basic: the most suitable for everyone. They are itineraries from 8 or 10 km in length that usually will not exceed 14 km nor will they present large slopes. They are the perfect option for a day in nature in which we will spend 4 or 5 hours with breaks to eat some food, take photos, chat with our hiking companions...

- Medium: for which it will be necessary to have a little more physical resistance. We will face slopes of up to 600 meters on routes that can take up to 7 hours and rougher terrain.

- High: only suitable for those accustomed to walking through mountain terrain on long days in the countryside between 8 and 10 hours of excursion. We may have to resort to holding on with our hands on more extreme slopes.

With Vía-Libre you will be able to gain experience progressively and with maximum security. We also make trips inside and outside our borders in collaboration with a travel agency.
