MOUNTAIN

Spain, Picos de Europa

Experience European climbing without the crowds.

Hosting some of the most compact limestone in Europe, Picos de Europa Ntl. Park delivers an accessible yet remote alpine climbing experience.

We will climb towering spires, aerial ridges overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and of course, Spain’s biggest wall, “Pico Urriello”, a monolith rising almost 2,000ft high.

Mountain Huts, Cablecar, hotel by the beach, medieval towns… this program is equal parts cultural immersion & epic climbing get away.
