Spanish Highs logoOur Team of Guides

"Thanks again for a wonderful trip! Now that I'm home, back in the fray, Spain seems very far away. I have to keep looking at the pictures to remind myself of what a magical place it is. We really had a wonderful time. Thank you all so much. Hello to Jane and Mike, too. You're a great team!" Lynne Withey, Susan Crosby, Debbie Glassman, San Fransisco, USA, Alpujarra Walking June 2008

Qualifications and Experience

Mountain Leader (ML), Winter Mountain Leader (WML), Single Pitch Award (SPA) and the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI,) are just some of the resources at our disposal. More importantly, they have had many years experience in the Alps, greater ranges and more especially, here in the Sierra Nevada in Spain. Most live and work year round in Lanjaron, so have come to know and understand the Sierra Nevada intimately in all weathers.
