Activity description

Looking for a unique adventure in the Pyrenees? Set off on a snowshoe hike to discover the magnificent Cirque de Gavarnie!

At the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, the Cirque de Gavarnie, located near the Franco-Spanish border, covers more than 30,000 hectares. The natural site of Gavarnie boasts a wealth of natural wonders, including a vertiginous glacial cirque rising to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres! You'll have the chance to enjoy a magnificent view of one of the most spectacular and highest waterfalls in Europe! In winter, the spectacle is magnificent, with a snowy backdrop and a frozen waterfall.

Throughout your excursion, you will be accompanied by a passionate and qualified guide who will pass on his knowledge of the region: learn about the history of the places you visit, the anecdotes and stories of the locals and guides who have climbed these impressive glacial valleys.

Snowshoe trekking from Cauterets is the perfect way to discover the region, enjoying the wild and impressive landscapes surrounded by the nature and animals that inhabit the Pyrenean mountains.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to take a snowshoeing trip with your family or friends in the Pyrenees, with the half-day or full-day tours offered by Acumpanyat!
