Mountain operations firm

From the Pyrenees
to the Himalaya.

Two ways into the mountains: walk the Pyrenees self-guided, or join a guided high-altitude expedition. Either way we engineer the route, the logistics and the safety net — and a real person stays on the line the whole way.

What they said after.

★★★★★ 4.9 / 5 · 312 dispatched in 2025

★★★★★

The trip was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Alberto provided comprehensive documentation covering everything: a detailed packing list (from hiking boots to sleeping bag liner), accommodations, daily itineraries, and a clear breakdown of which meals were included and which days I needed to arrange food myself, including local restaurant recommendations.

What stood out most was the responsiveness and flexibility. When I needed to take an unexpected rest day mid-hike, he immediately arranged a taxi to the next location without hassle.

The level of planning and preparation meant I could focus entirely on the experience itself rather than logistics. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a well-structured hiking trip where everything is taken care of.

★★★★★

The trip was spectacular and I was well taken care of the whole way. Transfers, refuges, the pace on the hill: all handled. The views from the summit of Toubkal were breathtaking. A serious, responsible company that does exactly what it says. Highly recommended.

Laura Madrid, ES
★★★★★

Mera Peak was everything I hoped for and none of the stress I expected. The acclimatisation was slow and sensible, and the logistics were sorted every single day. Standing at 6,476 m with Everest and Makalu in front of me is something I'll never forget. I would climb with them again.

Questions we get a lot.

Can't find yours? WhatsApp us →

FAQ_01 What's the difference between a guided expedition and a self-guided route?

On a guided expedition a certified guide leads every day (the High Atlas, Nepal and beyond). Self-guided means you walk the Pyrenees on your own schedule while we engineer everything around you: route, huts, transfers, GPS tracks and daily check-ins. Same standard of planning, with or without a guide beside you.

FAQ_02 Where do you operate?

Guided expeditions run in the High Atlas of Morocco and the Nepal Himalaya, with more added by season. Self-guided treks are in the Pyrenees, our home range: Carros de Foc, the Caracremada, the Ordesa High Route and more. If your objective is elsewhere, ask and we'll tell you honestly whether we can run it.

FAQ_03 How fit do I need to be?

Most routes ask for a reasonable hiking base: comfortable walking 5 to 7 hours with some ascent, several days running. Tell us your recent walks and we'll match you to a route and grade honestly, or build a gentler version. For high-altitude expeditions we set the acclimatisation profile around the group.

FAQ_04 What's included, and what do I arrange myself?

Your route plan, accommodation, permits, transfers, GPS tracks, daily forecasts and support are on us. On self-guided treks some meals are yours to arrange, and we send a clear breakdown of which days. Flights, travel insurance and personal gear are not included.

FAQ_05 Do I need travel and rescue insurance?

Yes. For any trip we ask for travel insurance that covers mountain rescue, and for high-altitude expeditions it must include helicopter evacuation at altitude. We'll tell you exactly what cover a given route needs, and can point you to providers other clients have used.

FAQ_06 How and when do I book?

Tell us your dates and what you're after by WhatsApp, a 15-minute call, or a short written brief. We reply with a draft itinerary and a fixed quote, usually the same day. A deposit secures your place, with the balance due before you travel. For summer routes and expedition seasons, book a few months ahead so we can hold huts and permits.
