Itinerary

Experience the mighty Pyrenees in the winter. Our Pyrenees snowshoeing tour is a real adventure from Barcelona. Follow your AEGM-qualified mountain guide as he breaks a fresh trail in the snow.

Disappear into the winter wonderland one step at a time. Enjoy a workshop about snow shelters, bushcraft, and other survival skills in the wilderness. Return to Barcelona with a whole new perspective on snowshoeing.

Our Pyrenees snowshoeing tour is suitable for a wide public but we require that each client brings a specific set of clothing and footwear to guarantee comfort and safety.

Our first stop for a cup of coffee, bathroom, and snowshoeing gear will be at the Bar Gusi in Ribes de Freser. This is a well-known meeting hub for famous Catalan mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Depending on the snow conditions we will either go to La Molina ski station or Vallter 2000 ski station in the Catalan Pyrenees. We will pack the last items and head out to enjoy a full day of snowshoeing in the deep Black pine forest, open plains, and steeper ascents to the summits.

This snowshoeing tour provides you with unique opportunities to experience the high mountains in the winter.
