Mountain and winter sports Spain

Located in the heart of the Cerdanya mountains, the village of Guils is an ideal starting point for ski touring. The resort of Fontanera, exclusively dedicated to Nordic or cross-country skiing, is an expert in the field, with many years of experience. The itineraries are numerous and of varying levels of difficulty. In the summer, Guils continues to be an excellent starting point for hikes to discover a truly impressive environment.

Supervised by a team of certified instructors, young and old alike can take ski and snowboard lessons in complete safety. The resort is also equipped with a special "magic carpet" for beginners: a conveyor belt on which you sit to be taken to the top of a green slope. The school has a Snow Garden for the little ones (3 to 6 years) and a crèche (for under-3s). Open weekends and public holidays.

Alpine skiing is practiced at whatever level. The station has a fleet of 8.7 km skiing, spread over 15 tracks: 3 green, 3 blue, 6 red and 3 black and 5 last generation mechanical lifts. Also available: rental of equipment, ski school, cafeteria-restaurant, infirmary and parking for cars. 

Here is a pioneer agency that offers a whole range of mountain activities: trekking, snowshoeing, mountain skiing, alpine skiing, snowboarding, canyoning, caving, climbing, snow climbing, via ferrata... There is something for all tastes and all levels, with a bias towards working for small groups in order to promote learning. The team is composed of serious and experienced guides. You can also rent equipment.

You will find on the site of this resort all the information concerning the various activities to be practised: cross-country skiing (40 km in total), with the possibility of booking online and knowing the state of the tracks, but also all the programmes of sports and discovery activities that can be practised in the resort or in the surroundings: hiking (including part of the GR 7), mountain bike circuit as it is a bit of paradise for mountain bikers.

Based a few kilometres southeast of Granada, the company of Bruno Pérez de Tudela and José María Boto was founded in 1997, thanks to the enthusiasm and determination of these two nature lovers. Granada Aventura offers a fairly complete range of activities that can be carried out in the Granada region, particularly in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. In winter, skiing and snowboarding occupy the playground with competent instructors. In summer, there are refreshing ravine descents, especially from the Río Verde, south of Granada, to enjoy the sublime landscapes. The serious entity even rents canoes from Pantano Canales in Güéjar Sierra. Climbing, abseiling, trekking are also part of the activities to be booked, a little further upstream, as well as easy level hikes, such as the Vereda de la Estrella, suitable for families, or more consequent for experienced athletes with, for example, the Altas Cumbres, over two days, near Carihuela and Veleta, culminating at over 3 000 m.
