Tryton Canyoning and Mountain Canyoning Guide is a company whose main activity consists of organizing and carrying out canyoning tours in the Aragonese Pyrenees area. There are few mountain sports more complete than canyoning, where you will have to walk, swim, jump, rappel, climb... This is why canyoning is one of the most popular activities in all active tourism companies in Spain.

The Tryton ravines are found in two main areas:

- Benasque Valley: in this incomparable natural setting you will find ravines and canyons of all levels of difficulty. Thus, and always in the company of Tryton's certified instructors, you will be able to canyoning at a level that adapts to your profile and physical condition while enjoying a splendid landscape.

In winter you can do many other activities besides skiing and snowboarding. One of the most popular are snowshoe routes. This special shoe that attaches to normal footwear allows walkers to advance on the snow without sinking or becoming excessively fatigued. Consequently, it is a perfect way to explore snowy landscapes and admire their silent beauty. Tryton Canyoning and Mountain Guide Snowshoes offers you this activity in the unparalleled setting of the Aragonese Pyrenees, where you can exercise while enjoying nature.

There are routes of different levels, all of them in the Podets-Maladeta Natural Park or in the Benasque Valley:

- Easy level: Easy level routes normally run through terrain that is almost entirely flat. There may be some slope, but always very gentle. The duration is usually between 4 and 6 hours, and children from 10 years of age can do them.

- Difficult level: Difficult level routes are usually uphill, requiring greater physical effort from walkers. They last between 6 and 8 hours, and are designed for people over 15 years old who also have a certain level of physical fitness.

We spend our lives in a hurry, going from one place to another without time to stop, breathe and enjoy what we are doing, to pay attention to the path. That is why hiking is a highly recommended activity to disconnect from stress and routine by walking through the countryside and enjoying the landscape and the possibility of being able to walk for the mere pleasure of doing so, without having to get anywhere at any time. Tryton Canyoning and Mountain Hiking Guide offers you different routes both in the Benasque Valley and in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park with which you can practice hiking in incredible natural environments.

There are routes for all levels:

Easy routes: these routes are more than a physical activity, they are a pleasant walk through the countryside. They have very little gradient (never more than 600 meters) and can be done by practically everyone, including children from 8 years old. The duration is usually between 4 and 6 hours.

Intermediate routes: These routes are somewhat more complicated, but they also pass through many spectacular landscapes where you can admire lakes, waterfalls, mountain peaks, etc. The duration is between 6 and 8 hours, and the total gradient of the route can reach 1,000 meters. To participate you must be at least 12 years old.

Routes through the graces in the Pyrenees: the most expert mountaineers can do one of these itineraries that last between 7 and 9 hours. In these cases, it is required to be in good physical shape because they require certain physical effort that not everyone can do.

Many of the people who practice the sport of climbing today started with via ferrata. This activity consists of climbing a wall using the different steps, supports, grips and supports that are already installed on the wall itself, which greatly facilitates the climber's progression. If you want to try a via ferrata you can do it with Tryton Canyoning and Mountain Via Ferrata Guide.

Specifically, Tryton has two via ferratas. The first is very easy and is designed for beginners with little or no experience. Practically anyone can do it without too many problems since the ascent is always very smooth and the supports make the progression much easier. The second via ferrata is somewhat more complicated, and not recommended for beginners without any experience. However, people who already have some experience in this activity should not have too many difficulties in this way either.

Tryton's qualified instructors accompany all groups at all times. They are also in charge of carrying and supervising the technical material used (harnesses, ropes, carabiners, etc.).

Many people prefer mountain skiing to alpine skiing because it is a much calmer, more relaxed and, above all, less crowded sport. If we add to this the incredible natural environment of the Benasque Valley and the Cerler Ski Resort, it is easy to understand why mountain skiing with Tryton Gully and Mountain Guide. Mountain skiing is a unique and unforgettable activity. You can practice it in two ways:

- Freeride descents: Freeride consists of off-piste skiing. In this case, this descent is done through the off-piste areas of the Cerler Ski Resort. This is a ski activity in its purest form, where you can go down virgin snow that has just fallen on the mountain. Of course, you are accompanied by an instructor at all times, although the activity requires a certain level of skiing on the slopes.

- Tours through the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park: These tours do have to do with mountain skiing itself. You will be able to see some of the most beautiful corners and places of the park while doing a very healthy exercise in the company of a professional guide.

Climbing is a very complete sport that also allows you to enjoy the countryside and the mountains and contemplate spectacular views. If you have never tried it before, Tryton Canyoning and Mountain Climbing Guide gives you the opportunity to do so. To do this you have several possibilities:

- Sport climbing: Enjoy a full day of climbing in the company of Tryton instructors. The proposed walls are easy, perfect for those who have little or no experience. Furthermore, at the beginning of the day you will have a brief theoretical and practical session, and then as you try to climb different routes the instructor will help and advise you. The activity is done for groups of at least two people, and the minimum age is 8 years.

- Initiation climbing course: The Tryton climbing course can be done intensively in just two days or in 4 days at a slower pace. Throughout it, students will learn all the basics so that, once the course is over, they can climb on their own on easy routes. This includes assembly and maintenance of the equipment, knots and how to secure the ropes, progression techniques and, of course, safety regulations.
