The snowshoe Expedition!!

Pyrenees Travel Blog › entry 1 of 1 › view all entries

Had so much fun on the winter walk, stayed on for an extra week to go on a Snowshoe expedition to the Spanish Pyrenees. Stayed overnight at the Refugi de Colomers and the Refugi Ventosa - both simple but comfy accomodation and good food!! Colder inside the refuge than out though!!

The snowshoe Expedition!!

After two days snow shoe practice on the hills around Luchon - one day walk from Benque (complete whiteout) and a second from Artigue (great weather), left La feniere (the mountain lodge) to cross over into Spain for three days walking!  Including a circular route from the Ref. de Colomers back to it via an overnight stay at the ref. de ventosa.

Great weather and great walking, snow under foot was icy (but at least trail breaking was not too hard as we did not sink too far into the snow).  The walks included some decent ascents, some fun descents and a few lake crossings!

 

If you have never been into the Pyrenees I recommend it 100%.
