Snowshoeing is a fun, comfortable and safe way to get through the snow. An authentic experience where you can walk surrounded by fairytale landscapes and snowy forests. Snowshoes allow us to move easily over snowy surfaces while discovering areas of great scenic beauty.
We encourage you to try it thanks to our local guides, who will teach you the basic techniques to progress with the material through the snow and take you through the most charming corners of the Pyrenees.
The adventure begins in a lonely corner of the High Pyrenees, in a magical environment where we will start our route. We will learn to interpret the traces of the typical Pyrenean fauna, while crossing large forests, white plains, until we reach the lonely refuge where we will spend the night. We will enjoy a good dinner, gathering afterwards by the heat of the fire to remember the anecdotes of the journey. At night, we will go on an expedition to contemplate the night sky, stars and constellations. The next day we will climb a small peak where we will enjoy incredible views of the snowy landscapes of the valley and the nearby peaks, until we return to the refuge where a revitalizing lunch will await us before taking the way back and ending the adventure.
We offer the route in Alt Pirineu Natural Park including accommodation in Refuge Gall Fer located in Virós Forest; as well as the periphery of Aigüestortes National Park including accommodation in Refuge Pla de la Font departing from Planes de Son. Location to determine depending on the availability and snow quality.
*Tour confirmed with a minimum of 12 people every Saturday in January and February.
