Mendietan was born from Unai Llamas Ahedo’s passion for the mountains and his desire to share authentic experiences in nature. From a young age, he has explored climbing, trekking, and ski mountaineering, understanding that each activity offers learning, personal growth, and a connection with the natural environment.

Unai, a certified Mountain Guide (TD2) and Telecommunications Engineer, brings a technical and professional approach to planning and risk management through Mendietan, ensuring that every outing is safe, efficient, and tailored to the group’s skill level. Safety, knowledge, and preparation are fundamental pillars of all activities.

At Mendietan, every adventure is designed to offer a complete experience: from guided hikes to orienteering training, always with small groups that allow for close and personalized attention. Our goal is for each participant to gain independence, discover new skills, and experience the mountains with confidence and respect.

Mendietan’s values are reflected in every detail: a friendly approach, a passion for teaching, a focus on safety, and respect for nature. Each activity combines adventure, learning, and discovery, making every outing memorable and enriching.

In short, Mendietan not only guides people through the mountains, but also helps them connect with them, understand them and fully enjoy them, building memories and experiences that last far beyond the route itself.

Opinions

Hear what our customers are saying

Just got home from one of the best mountain experiences I've ever had: a training course in orienteering, compass use, and map reading. Unai was our guide, and he's simply fantastic. He explains things in such a way that you understand them easily, always providing explanations for possible solutions. His manner... top-notch! He's young but incredibly confident. And so friendly... like I said, absolutely perfect! In fact... we're already thinking about the next course, even before it's finished!

I signed up for a compass and map reading course thinking I wouldn't learn much in a weekend, but thanks to Unai, I've gone from having absolutely no idea to being able to navigate with great precision and confidence using a map and compass on any route, day or night. The best part was the night route we did. Unai has incredible confidence and experience; he explains things so simply that you grasp everything very easily. It was a fantastic experience that I will definitely repeat. Well done, Unai! 💪💪

A spectacular weekend of snowshoeing guided by Unai, discovering the local flora, fauna, and traditions. An enjoyable route, incredible views, and a tremendous desire to repeat the experience.

Not necessarily. We organize outings for people who are new to the mountains, as well as more technical activities for those seeking greater challenges.
Yes. At Mendietan, safety is the cornerstone of every activity. All routes are planned in advance, analyzing the terrain, elevation gain, and possible alternatives. Before and during the outing, weather and terrain conditions are assessed, and decisions are made based on the group’s level and pace. The priority is always to enjoy the mountains responsibly and with professional judgment.
At Mendietan, we work with small groups because we believe that the mountains are best enjoyed and learned this way. Small groups allow us to offer personalized attention, adapt the pace to each individual, and ensure greater safety and a higher quality experience. Our goal is not to move large groups, but rather for each participant to feel supported, listened to, and part of the experience.
Yes. We design tailor-made activities for teams, companies, educational centers, or groups that want a personalized experience.
