Snowshoeing in the Pyrenees

Do you like hiking? We suggest practising it in winter on snowshoes, surrounded by winter alpine landscapes and led by one of our local guides, who will take you on the most emblematic routes of the territory.

We offer a half-day route through the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, the largest protected area in Catalonia. It includes several valleys and mountains that have as main quality their humanized landscapes and livestock activity with extensive pastures and meadows. The park is also the land of emblematic animals such as the capercaillie, the bearded vulture and the brown bear.

You will meet our local guide at our base in Sort. From there, you will follow the guide's car with your own vehicle to reach the starting point of the activity. The location will be decided according to the snow conditions at the  time of the activity.

Guaranteed departures with a minimum of 2 people every day from 4th Dec 21 - 20th March 22.

• Technical material: snowshoes and poles. 
• Half-day guide services.

Do you enjoy hiking in summer? Do you dare to try it in the winter? Snow, stars, forests and a lonely refuge await us in a real two-day winter adventure on snowshoes.

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.
