The snowshoeing excursion experience in Grau Roig

You are going to walk for two hours across the snow, and you don’t need to have ever tried snowshoes. It all starts at the RocRoi activity centre in the Grau Roig sector of Grandvalira, where the guide fits you with the snowshoes and poles.

Before setting off, there is a short, jargon-free explanation of how to move in them. Within a few minutes you are already on your way, and it almost surprises you how easy it is.

The route adapts to the level of the group and nobody is in a hurry. It crosses quiet black pine forests, wide clearings and calm flats of the Grandvalira Mountain Park, with the Moretó valley in the background. Along the way you come across animal tracks in the snow, spots where it piles up like cotton wool and short explanations from the guide about the area. There are also stops to catch your breath, which count for more than they seem.

The moment you take home comes at the natural viewpoints. You stop, look up and the mountains open out in front of you. Get your phone out: the photos take themselves here. Then, after about two hours on the trail, you return to the centre with that mix of well-being and energy that only a snowshoe outing gives.

If adverse conditions compromise safety, the excursion is rescheduled.
