As an adventure sports company, at Guies Ama Dablam we are not only passionate about mountains and adventure, but also about preserving and respecting natural environments. Our mission goes beyond offering quality activities; we are committed to caring for and protecting the places where we operate, encouraging responsible tourism and promoting sustainable practices.
At Guies Ama Dablam , we believe that tourism can have a positive impact if it is managed consciously. As part of our responsible tourism strategy, we promote activities that minimize the environmental footprint and teach our guests to respect nature. To achieve this:
As an adventure sports company, we strive to integrate sustainable practices into our day-to-day operations. Our choices, from the equipment we use to the routes we choose, reflect our responsibility to the environment. Here are some of the steps we take:
On our routes, we encourage the cleanliness of the places we visit to preserve natural spaces. These initiatives reflect our commitment to giving back to nature part of what it offers us and to preserve natural spaces for future generations.
Our commitment to the environment is an essential part of our vision as an adventure sports company. Guies Ama Dablam seeks to be a benchmark in sustainable practices and responsible tourism, and we are continually working to improve and innovate in our actions to care for and respect nature.
Commitment to Sustainability and Recognition of CETS
This is why, during the first quarter of 2019, Guies Ama Dablam obtained the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (CETS) accreditation, being the first canyoning company in Catalonia to achieve this distinction. The CETS, promoted by the EUROPARC Foundation, represents a commitment between protected area managers and tourism companies to develop tourism in harmony with the sustainable management of the resources of protected natural areas in Europe.
CETS is much more than a quality label: it is a working method and a planning tool, a European mark of excellence in sustainable tourism development. At Guies Ama Dablam we are proud to be part of this initiative which, in addition to recognising our commitment to nature, supports our constant effort to operate in a respectful and responsible manner in each activity.
Adventure can go hand in hand with sustainability. Join our activities to live a unique experience in nature while helping to preserve it.
The best activities to do in winter in Catalonia.
In Catalonia we have a very diverse landscape, and this means that we have a multitude of activities to do from the Pyrenees to the Costa Brava passing through the interior. Here we present some of the best activities to do in winter in Catalonia.
Via ferratas are very dynamic activities where we are in constant motion, this means that the cold does not affect us to carry out the activity. Here is an example of ferrata routes to do in winter:
The winter canyons that we present here are a very good option to enjoy during the coldest season of any year.
Snowshoe excursions are recommended activities for all audiences, from the oldest to the youngest. We have easy trips like walking in the snow, building an igloo, walks under the light of the Full Moon or we also have more demanding trips like hiking a snowy peak or trips of several days sleeping in shelters or even sleeping in tents.
In Catalonia we have many climbing areas ideal for winter. Most of the climbing walls in Catalonia face south and therefore, the sun touches them all day long, meaning that in the middle of winter, you can be climbing perfectly in short sleeves!
We have different climbing options:
Hiking is a highly recommended activity for the less hot time of the year. In our country we have many areas where you can practice hiking with many different types of landscapes and vegetation. Some examples of diversity of outputs could be these:
We organize orienteering courses in the Vall d'en Bas, it is a very beautiful area and perfect for this type of activity. Ideal for families, school groups and also for company activities.

The best via ferratas in Catalonia. In Catalonia we have many via ferratas and some very beautiful ones. The best via ferratas in Catalonia near Barcelona, according to our criteria, would be:
One of the most emblematic via ferratas in Catalonia. The Via Ferrada de la Cala del Molí, in Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Baix Empordà), walk along the orange walls of Cala del Molí in front of transparent waters with various shades of turquoise. It is a special via ferrata due to the environment in which it is located, in the heart of the Costa Brava. Indispensable.
The classic among the classics. The Baumes Corcades via ferrata in Centelles (Osona) has become an essential classic in Catalonia. Famous for its long Nepalese bridge of 69m that leaves no one indifferent, it is a very complete via ferrata as we will enjoy vertical sections, long flanking between the gnarled baumes (the point that gives the via ferrata its name), parts completely collapsed where we will test our strength and the famous Nepalese bridge.
The Roca de la Creu via ferrata in Ribes de Freser (Ripollès) is one of the best beginner via ferratas in Catalonia. Ideal for a first contact is an excellent via ferrata with privileged views over the Vall de Ribes, in the middle of the Eastern Pyrenees.
