We provide activity holidays in the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada
of Andalucia, southern Spain. The area provides great opportunities
for all, from the high and wild mountains, in winter, to the more gentle
hills of the Alpujarras. There is something to interest everybody.
We have been operating here, from our permanent base in Lanjaron,
for over 8 years and offer a wide range of holidays. Our enthusiastic
team of professional guides live and work here,
and know the mountains and environment intimately. We are the first, most
established and experienced UK guides operating year round in the Sierra
Nevada. Access is easy from Granada, Malaga or Almeria airports.
We offer trips of any duration and any start date. Singles and groups
are welcomed. Tailor made, family
friendly activity courses available and also support for self
guided climbers, walkers and trekkers.
The site provides lots of weather,
mountain and local
information for those travelling independently or those who just want to
learn more about these wonderful mountains! We also run expeditions to Patagonia
and the Andes. See our News
Blog for details of forthcoming dates and offers.
