Vivaks Guías de Montaña y Barrancos

Vivak’s Mountain and Canyon Guides is an active tourism company oriented, as its name indicates, mainly to mountain sports. Its facilities are located in the Barcelona town of La Pobla de Lillet, approximately 90 minutes by car from the city of Barcelona.

Some of the activities you can do with Vivak's are the following:

- Hiking: Guided hiking routes with the best mountain guides. The hiking routes are carried out through the Aragonese and Catalan Pyrenees area. There is also the possibility of trekking through places around the world (Patagonia, Azores, Morocco...).

- Snowshoes: Take guided routes through the snow. With snowshoes attached to your hiking boots you can walk on freshly fallen snow without problems. Enjoy the magic of the newly snowy landscapes.

- Canyoning: Walk through the canyon of a river carved into the rock on foot. Along the ravine you will have to face all kinds of obstacles and natural accidents such as pools, walls, siphons, stone slides, waterfalls...

- Climbing: Get started in the sport of climbing by taking courses with professional instructors who will teach you how to climb a natural wall.

- Vías Ferratas: this activity is very similar to climbing, and many use it as a first contact with climbing since it is much easier and requires less assistance.

All activities can be done for groups with different levels of physical fitness and previous experience.

Canyoning is one of the most complete and exciting mountain activities that can be done. With Vivak's Mountain and Canyoning Guides you can descend canyons throughout Spain, especially in the areas of Aragon and Catalonia. The company is locatedin the Catalan town of La Pobla de Lillet, an hour and a half by car from the city of Barcelona.

For those who have never done it, canyoning consists of traveling on foot along a river bed, having to overcome obstacles along the way such as jumps into pools, rappelling descents, water slides, siphons...

With Vivak you can descend canyons of all levels, to ensure that the experience is always fun and relaxed, according to each person's physical level. Therefore, there are ravines of three levels:

- Level I: These ravines can be done by everyone with little difficulty. They are the most recommended for people who have never done this activity before and have doubts about the level of physical demand.

- Level II: These ravines are also for everyone, but they require a little more physical effort. In any case they are still accessible, and with the help of the monitors no one should have too much trouble navigating them.

- Level III: The canyons at this level are for people with good physical condition and who have some experience in the world of canyoning, since more advanced techniques are used.

Vivak's Snowshoe Mountain and Canyon Guides offers the possibility of practicing an original and very healthy sport. The company has its facilities in La Pobla de Lillet (province of Barcelona) about 130 kilometers north of Barcelona.

If you have never seen them, snowshoes are special platforms that attach to the boots themselves and allow the walker to walk through the snow without too much effort, thus being able to cover distances with much less fatigue. They are therefore ideal for hiking in the snow or mountaineering.

Vivak's offers guided routes through the Pyrenees for all levels, always in the company of professional and highly experienced guides:

-Level 1:these routes can last between half a day and a full day. Their accumulated slope does not reach 500 meters.

- Level 2: Within this level there are routes between 8 and 14 kilometers in length. The physical effort is already somewhat greater since the accumulated slope can reach 800 meters.

- Level 3: these routes are recommended for people in good physical condition. They are expeditions that take place over two or more days, spending the night in shelters or bivouacs.
