Description
When winter arrives, the snow covers the mountains with its white mantle, giving them a special charm that invites you to discover its corners with peaceful walks on snowshoes. White forests, snowy hills that look like cotton wool, frozen rivers, blue skies and spectacular landscapes. All this and more is what you will discover with this guided snowshoeing route in the ski resort of La Molina, in the heart of La Cerdanya, in the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees. Snowshoes allow us to move over the terrain safely, effortlessly and with much more traction both uphill and downhill. Unlike ski mountaineering, there is no need for technique and it is not too complicated, which makes them an ideal option for a walk in the mountains with family or friends.
What we are going to do?
We will meet at the ski resort of La Molina, an ideal location for any snowshoeing route. Before starting the route, the specialised guides will teach us how to move with the snowshoes, how to progress uphill and downhill and will explain the basic safety rules in the snow. The experience is suitable for all levels, for those who have not yet started snowshoeing but like hiking. We will go up by cable car to an altitude of 2,300 metres, where we will start the route with the landscape of the counties of La Cerdanya and Berguedà under our feet. We will finish at the top of La Tosa, at the Niu de l'Àliga hut, where we can rest and warm up before descending.
