Snowshoe Hiking between snow and nature in the Pyrenees Natural Park

Imagine immersing yourself in a magical winter landscape, where snow covers the forests and mountains, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity that only winter can offer. This is the experience that awaits you in our guided snowshoeing activity in the Bordes de Noarre, a hidden place in the heart of the Pyrenees Natural Park, where nature shows itself in all its splendour.

The route starts in a small mountain refuge, surrounded by meadows now covered with immaculate snow. From here, we put on our snowshoes and enter a silent world, where only our steps on the snow break the stillness. As we go, the guide will lead us along paths that wind through snow-covered trees and breathtaking panoramas, offering us an intimate connection with the environment.

On this hike, you will not only enjoy the beauty of the landscape, but you will also have the opportunity to learn about the wildlife that inhabits these mountains during the winter. As we walk, we will follow animal tracks imprinted in the snow: the track of a chamois that has come down to the lower parts looking for food, or the tracks of a fox, which moves stealthily through the trees in search of prey. Each track tells a story of survival and our guide will help you to interpret it.

During the tour, we will also explain how the different species adapt to the freezing temperatures at these altitudes. You will discover the survival strategies used by animals to resist the extreme cold: from the thick fur of mammals to the ability of birds to maintain body heat or the hibernation strategies of small creatures that live under the snow.

The route arrives at the Bordes de Noarre, old shepherds’ huts that look like something out of a fairy tale in this snowy landscape. Here, we will pause to enjoy the serenity of the place, listening only to the soft wind that moves the branches and the crunching of the snow under our feet. It is a moment to disconnect from the world, breathe in the fresh air and let yourself be captivated by the charm of this corner of the Pyrenees.

Finally, we set off on our return journey, with the satisfaction of having lived a unique experience. The hike will leave us with not only memories of incredible landscapes, but also a deeper understanding of how wildlife adapts and thrives in one of the most challenging environments on the planet.

This snowshoe trek is more than just a hike: it is an immersion into the winter wilderness, an opportunity to connect with the landscape and understand the wonders of survival in extreme conditions. A journey that will make you appreciate even more the strength and beauty of the Pyrenees.
