Welcome

Thanks to all past clients and followers of Guiding Light Mountain Guides over the years.
We are now based full time in Spain's Sierra Nevada and Alpujarras mountains and operate under the auspices of our sister company Spanish Highs Mountain Guides. Their site is regularly updated with news, forums, photos, latest mountain and snow conditions and is packed with information should you intend to visit this wonderful mountain area.

Enter the old Guiding Light Mountain Guides website for access to archives, photos and information.

About

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 (client testimonials)). We are the first, most established and experienced UK and alpine guides operating year round in the Sierra Nevada. Easy access 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 holidays available and also support for self guided climbers, walkers and trekkers. We also have the "Big 3" Charity Fundraising Challenge for you to test your endurance for a good cause.

The site provides lots of 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 Snow and Mountain Newsroom for news, trips reports, details of avalanche risk and mountain conditions, together with our Forum and Online Community.
