- Climbing: Get started in the sport of climbing by giving courses with professional instructors who will teach you to be able to climb a natural wall.

- Via Ferratas: this activity is very similar to climbing, and many use it as a first contact with climbing as it is much easier and requires less assistance.

All activities can be done for groups with different levels of physical fitness and previous experience.

Canyoning is one of the most complete and exciting mountain activities that can be done. With Vivak's Mountain Guides and Canyoning Canyoning you can descend canyons throughout Spain, especially in the areas of Aragon and Catalonia. The company is located in the Catalan town of La Pobla de Lillet , an hour and a half by car from the city of Barcelona.

For those who have never done it, canyoning consists of walking along a river bed, having to overcome obstacles such as jumping into pools, rappel descents, water slides, siphons ...

With Vivak you can descend canyons of all levels, to ensure that the experience is always fun and relaxed, according to the physical level of each one. Therefore, there are three-level ravines:

- Level I: These ravines can be done by everyone with little difficulty. They are the most recommended for people who have never done this activity before and have doubts about the level of physical demand.

- Level II: These ravines are also for all audiences, but they require a little more physical effort. In any case, they are still accessible, and with the help of the monitors, no one should have too much trouble navigating them.

- Level III: The canyons of this level are already for people with good physical condition and who have some experience in the world of canyoning, since more advanced techniques are used.

Vivak's Snowshoe Mountain and Canyoning Guides offers the possibility of practicing an original and very healthy sport. The company has its facilities in La Pobla de Lillet (Barcelona province) about 130 kilometers north of Barcelona.

If you have never seen them, snowshoes are special platforms that are attached to the boots themselves and allow the walker to walk through the snow without too much effort, thus being able to travel distances with much less fatigue. They are therefore ideal for hiking on snow or mountaineering.

Vivak's offers guided routes through the Pyrenees for all levels, always in the company of professional guides and with a lot of experience:

- Level 1: these routes can last between half a day and a whole day. The accumulated unevenness of the same does not reach 500 meters.

- Level 2: within this level, routes between 8 and 14 kilometers in length are made. The physical effort is already somewhat greater since the accumulated unevenness can reach 800 meters.

- Level 3: these routes are recommended for people in good physical condition. They are expeditions that take place over two or more days, spending the night in shelters or bivouacs.

Hiking is a perfect activity to enjoy the countryside in a relaxed and healthy way. With Vivak's Mountain and Canyoning Guides Hiking you will be able to do routes in Spain and also around the world (Azores, Morocco, Patagonia, Himalaya ...). The company is based in La Pobla de Lillet, in the province of Barcelona.

Vivak's always organizes the routes according to the characteristics of the clients, trying to adapt as much as possible to their needs. For this reason, the routes that are carried out can always vary in terms of the route, the duration and its difficulty. Thus, routes can be organized for groups with children, more expert groups who want to do more distance and with more slope, etc.

In addition to hiking, Vivak's also organizes trekkings. The fundamental difference between hiking and trekking is that the latter tend to be hikes of much longer duration and difficulty, and can last up to several days.

All activities are always done in the company of Vivak's monitors. All of them have a lot of experience and are perfect connoisseurs of the roads and trails that are traveled.

Vivak's Mountain and Canyoning Guides Climbing is a company specialized in the world of climbing in particular and mountain sports in general. It is located in the Barcelona town of La Pobla de Lillet, 135 kilometers north of the city of Barcelona.

You can take both courses and climbing expeditions. Within the expeditions you can do different modalities:

- Sport climbing: This modality is the one normally chosen by beginners. It is based on making the tracks by hooking to anchors already fixed on the wall. This greatly facilitates the ascent so that climbers can focus on improving and perfecting their technique.

- Classic climbing: This type of climbing consists of climbing natural walls along routes that may already be equipped, semi-equipped or completely unequipped.

- Climbing on ridges: It is called this way the climbing by walls that are at great height, that is to say, by the tops of the mountains.

In the same way, different courses can also be taken: initiation to climbing, sport climbing and natural climbing (in order of difficulty, from least to most difficulty).

Via ferrata are an activity consisting of climbing the wall of a mountain using grips, steps and steps that have been previously installed to facilitate the progression of climbers. Vivak's Vía Ferrata Mountain and Canyon Guides offers you the opportunity to try this activity in the Pyrenees areas in Aragon and Catalonia.

The via ferrata is an activity that many people usually do who want to try climbing but don't dare yet and prefer to try this intermediate step first. However, there are routes of low difficulty, but also routes of medium-high difficulty that really involve a high level of physical demand.

With Vivak's you will first be able to take a via ferrata progression course where you will be able to learn all the necessary techniques to progress smoothly. Once you have mastered the techniques, you can do any of the routes proposed by the company. Those of low difficulty run through Vallcebre, Centelles, Musara ... The routes of medium-high difficulty run through the areas of Montserrat, Teresina, Alt Urgell ...
