A land that collects many stories that when you hear them, will not leave you indifferent, the Alta Garrotxa.
Canals or de les Comelles Canyon, Sadernes (Garrotxa). On a personal level, our favorite canyon is that, taking it with water is difficult, there must be continuous periods of rain (spring), but when it is achieved and the day is sunny, we will enjoy one of the canyons with the most crystalline waters there are. Paradise in the middle of mountains and oak forests. Abseils and many jumps, more than his older brother Sant Aniol.

Some of you already know us, but for those of you who don't know us yet, we introduce ourselves.
We are Esteve and Raquel, two people from Osona living in La Garrotxa, between beeches, rivers of turquoise waters and volcanoes. We ended up in La Garrotxa because we liked it and today, we still like it a lot more.
Esteve, born in Vic, was taken to the mountains by his parents when he was very young. A lifelong family of hikers. Who passed his passion and admiration for the mountains.
Raquel, from Sant Martí de Centelles, was born and raised on a farm. Between animals, trees and mountains and on weekends, during farmers' time, they also made some excursions with their parents to climb some mountains in the Eastern Pyrenees.
After adolescence, the interest in mountain activities gained importance, and apart from the mountain biking and hiking that we had always practiced, little by little, we became fond of canyoning, via ferrata, rock climbing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, mountaineering, ... looking to go a little further.
Until we make our passion, our work. We both studied mountain sports technicians and here we are, forming Guies Ama Dablam.
The mountain is our life, our day to day. When we have finished working, we look for which peak we can climb or which canyon we can go down. Or if it's cold, we take off our mountain skis or ice axes.
Responsibility and Sustainability
In the mountains, no matter what the activity, we are happy. Breathe fresh air, listen to the silence, observe the immensity of the landscape... be part of the environment.
That is why we always try to instill the values of sustainability and responsibility with nature, of the importance of caring for what we have. To be respectful of the environment. In 2019 we were accredited with the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism, of which we are very proud and which gives meaning to our way of doing things.
Our specialties are canyoning, rock climbing, via ferrata, snowshoeing, hiking, orienteering. If you want to do some activity with us, contact us, we will be happy to guide you, teach you everything we know and above all, make you have a special day!
Activities throughout Catalonia, Southern France and the region of Aragon, among others, but where do most of them is the area of the Garrotxa, Ripollès, Osona, Southern France and Eastern Pyrenees.
The age to participate is from 6 to 7 years. We have activities of different levels, to unload adrenaline to the maximum or to simply enjoy the nature spending a pleasant time. Activities for groups of friends, couples, bachelor parties, as well as for families, ideal team building activities for companies and schools activities! We adapt to each group and situation.
Thank you for your trust,
Salut i muntanya!
