About Pablo
As an All-terrain mountain enthusiast, white water kayaking, backcountry skiing and of course mountain biking has brought Pablo to the four corners of the planet; Nepal, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Africa. Always escaping with a quiver of toys, but eventually returning to his beloved Pyrenees.
During his forest firefighting career that includes 12 years of working with helicopters, he met his business partner Lluís. Their friendship grew and gave rise to a dream; heli-access biking in his backyard. Good luck trying to wipe the smile of his face.
DANI BOSQUE
Born and raised in one of the most beautiful and authentic valleys of the Pyrenees such as Chistau, Dani is our authentic local guide. He knows the area perfectly and always with his smile, he will be happy to guide you through it.
Ski teacher in winter, kayak and bike geek, it will be a good challenge for you to follow him on the trails… but it will be more to match what he eats!
ABOUT Jorgito
From the Mediterranean coast, he is our youngest and fastest guide. Growing up, he has been sorrunded by wheels, either doing motocross or Racing downhill, he even won some spanish national cups as junior and under 23s.
Apart from enjoying the trails with us, he is technical delegate on the DH world cup for the UCI, and also bike mechanic in New Zealand during the Winter season.
All this plus his riding skills and sick way of shred bikes make him a perfect match with our team!
ABOUT CHUN
Raised in the Sierra outside of Madrid, Chun discovered that his place was in the mountains and not the city. He studied Forest Engineering and worked as a Wildfire Technician in Granada, Guadalajara and Toledo, with helicopters all around him.
On this path, he fell in love with the Pyrenees and to support his new lifestyle, he redirected his career by training to become mountain technician and of course, a MTB guide. He is a master of all mountain recreation, knowledgeable in geology, botany and photography with experience in southern Africa. When you add enthusiasm and energy to these qualities, you end up with an ideal guide for your mountain adventure.
