In a few words

Every winter, the Val d'Aran transforms into a veritable white haven, offering ideal conditions for snowshoeing in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees . This winter getaway invites you to a gradual immersion in a pristine mountain environment, sculpted by snow and silence.

Accommodation is in a family-run hotel located in the heart of a charming mountain village . From the hotel, the panoramic view opens up across the valley and surrounding peaks, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere after a day of exertion.

The routes take us between Aygues Törtes National Park and the Beret high plateau , two iconic sites offering a great diversity of landscapes. Along the way, we discover frozen lakes , spectacular mineral cirques , and vast larch forests , all in a typically wintery atmosphere.

Each day is punctuated by the contemplation of magnificent landscapes , revealing all the natural and wild richness of the Val d'Aran under its blanket of snow.
