Picos Rock & Snow started life as Gustavo Ski Tours in the winter of 1991. The new name now also encompasses our recently-developed walking, scrambling and snowshoeing holidays. Here's what Mike says;

"The youthful dream of working winters and kicking back and travelling during the summer sadly didn't materialise, but we have since been over-compensated by the absolute privilige of living in and exploring the dramatic landscapes of the Picos de Europa and the valleys of Liébana on their eastern flank, leading groups of all abilities, sizes, ages, desires and aspirations. It is this experience and invaluable local knowledge that will enhance any visit to the Picos de Europa for those that come here to walk, scramble, snowshoe or ski with us."

Walking - Merv and Helen Wilson
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The fabulous coastal views, the variety of terrain/countryside we walked through, the opportunity to spend time in places that were a true reflection of life in the area rather than a tourist view, the great people at the tour company. If we had to pick one thing, which is near to impossible as the whole experience was fabulous; maybe the sight of lone local fishermen way out on the tips of horrendously dangerous looking rocks with waves crashing up to them will be a lasting memory and the sound of cow bells.

Frontier Holidays have some great offers running at the moment for independent and guided walking at destinations across Spain.  Why not try a unique Backpackers Independent tour of The Brugent Escarp?  It has some of the best wild swimming in Spain – have a look here .  With prices from £390 full board, you won't find better value for money!

The first clients are back from the brand new itineraries and here's what they had to say;

Cap de Creus “We had Spain to ourselves and the weather was perfect.”

Ruta del Cister - “The walks were terrific, a good balance across what we believed was possibly the best scenery in the area; we picked grapes, almonds and pomegranates.”

Book before the end of 2009 and we'll give you a 10% discount – just quote “Wildside”.
