Immerse yourself in the natural, snow-covered landscapes of the Val d'Azun, surrounded by mountains, forests and snow-capped peaks! Nicknamed the "Eden of the Pyrenees", the Val d'Azun is the ideal place for a winter snowshoeing excursion near Cauterets. There, you'll enjoy an unspoilt setting dotted with small villages where pastoral traditions are still strong.
This snowshoeing excursion in the Val d'Azun will take you along paths little known to other hikers. Accompanied by a passionate and qualified local mountain guide, you'll be able to explore the unspoilt countryside that lies close to the Pyrenees National Park. You'll pass through several of the region's authentic villages (Argelès Gazost, Arras, Aucun) and enjoy the climate, with its unique sunshine thanks to the valley's orientation!
During your snowshoe hike in the Val d'Azun, you'll discover a variety of mountain landscapes: pine forests, snow-covered peaks and valleys. As you set off, you'll pass close to the Col de Couraduque pass, and during the outing you'll probably have the chance to admire the birds of prey that fly over the region. Your local guide will reveal all the secrets of this part of the Pyrenees and will adapt to your level to ensure you have the best snowshoeing experience possible.
Much more than a simple snowshoe hike in the Val d'Azun, this excursion is an opportunity to enjoy a warm drink in a magnificent natural setting. It's also an opportunity to share a moment with other hikers, to learn more about the Pyrenees and to take a break from everyday life.
