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 Ferrata

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:

Who we are

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.

Formation

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.

What we do

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!

Where
