Spain Ski touring Holiday in the Picos de Europa mountains

Experience ski touring in the Picos de Europa mountains for an adrenalin filled holiday in Spain

Experience ski touring in the Picos de Europa mountains for an adrenalin filled holiday in Spain.

Whether you’ve only previously skied on pistes and would like to learn ski touring techniques and how to use the equipment, or you have skied off-piste and would like to try a new area, or you’re an experienced ski mountaineer and would like to bag some peaks with ice axe and crampons, we have the winter holiday for you!

The Picos de Europa are still relatively unknown. The area is a National Park and Unesco Biosphere Reserve. Although there is one cable car, there are no ski lifts. This means we rarely see other people on our days out in the snow.

If you don’t have your own ski touring equipment, skis with touring bindings, boots and poles can be hired locally. We can provide ice-axes, crampons and avalanche tranceivers.

What to expect

You'll be met at Santander airport and on arrival at our rustic guesthouse base, the first evening will be settling in and getting to know each other while enjoying a home-cooked 3-course meal.
The next 6 days we'll be skiing in a variety of different landscapes in the central and eastern massifs of the Picos and the central and highest peaks of the Cantabrian mountain range.
Using our local knowledge and the current weather and snow conditions means we can choose the best areas to go to daily.
At least 1 day we'll use the cable car to whisk us up into the central massif and on others we'll use either our van with snow tyres or our trusty landrover.
Peaks we can ascend and ski down include Coriscao (2,234m), Peña Prieta (2,539m) and Peña Labra (2,029m) in the central Cantabrian mountains and Pico Tesorero (2,570m), Pico de la Padierna (2,319m) and Torre de los Horcados Rojos (2,506m) in the central massif of the Picos de Europa.
These days will generally consist of @6 hours skiing.
Each evening you'll come home to a hot shower, drinks in front of a log fire and great food.
The last day will be transfer back to Santander.
