The night snowshoeing experience in Grau Roig
You are going to walk for two hours across the snow of Grau Roig, after dark, and you don’t need to know a thing about snowshoes. You arrive at the RocRoi activity centre at the time shown in your booking confirmation. Whatever you don’t need, leave it in the car: the meeting point has facilities and catering right alongside.
We hand out the snowshoes and poles and, once everyone has them on, the guide explains how they work and where the route will go. No jargon. With your head torch ready, the walk begins.
And off you go. The guide sets a comfortable, safe pace, and the group adapts to whoever is slowest. The trail alternates forest clearings and open ground in the Grau Roig sector of Grandvalira (Grandvalira Mountain Park), among snow-laden black pines and with the Moretó valley as a backdrop. It is moderate effort, not a race.
Moonlight or the glow of your head torches sketches out the landscape: serene, silent and very photogenic. When someone stops to look, the whole group stops. That is what you take home: the mountain with the volume turned down.
If the snow or the visibility are not on your side, the walk may be changed or rescheduled.
