Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Experience an unforgettable sunset at the top of Cuitu Negro in Asturias!
If you like the snow, but you want to live a different experience, we offer you a snowshoeing tour to the top of Cuitu Negro in Asturias, but that's not all! To make it a unique experience we propose you to walk this mountain at sunset, to see how the sun goes down between Ubiñas, the Vía de la Carisa and the Tres Marías.
Snowshoeing is a sporting activity in which thanks to these snowshoes you walk on the snow quickly without getting wet or sinking, because when coupled to the boots and placed under the snowshoes the weight is distributed, which provides greater stability. It is an activity suitable for all types of public, especially for snow and mountain lovers. But do not worry if it is the first time, Naturaller instructors will give you tips so you know how to move without any problem.
The route takes place in Cuitu Negro, a peak of 1 862 meters high. You will go up there with the Pajares cable car, the only one in Asturias and from which you will enjoy beautiful views of the valley and the sunset. Once at the top and with the snowshoes on you will start the route of about 4 kilometers during which you will make small stops to observe the stars and the moon.
