Snowshoes in Vallter 2000!
Snowshoes are ideal for being able to walk on snow and not sink because of our weight. Thanks to their racket shape they provide us with buoyancy. That is why, in winter, the best way to do a walking route in the Pyrenees is with Snowshoes.
Close to Barcelona and Girona, we have the Vallter 2000 area, an ideal place to start and to make intermediate and advanced excursions as well. Vallter is located in the Capçaleres del Ter i Freser Natural Park in the Ripollès region.
Snowshoeing Discovery excursions are ideal for a first contact, for all types of people, with incredible high mountain snowy landscapes.
We propose the Snowshoes Discover, a 3 hour excursion where we will enjoy nature, the landscape, the snow and the fresh air. Pi negre forests, steep mountains, snowy rivers, .. an excursion with snowshoes simple but very beautiful!
For the little ones, we suggest Snowshoes and Igloo Construction, where we will make a small snowshoes excursion to the place where we can build the igloo. Both the older ones (it can be a perfect emergency shelter in case of bad weather in the winter mountain) and the younger ones, will enjoy building it!
And for the most intrepid, we propose the departure of Snowshoes with Full Moon, a night experience that will not leave you indifferent!
The ideal time to go on excursions is from December to April, always depending on the state of the snow and the weather conditions.
So, if you want to discover the Pyrenees in winter with Snowshoes, don't hesitate !! in the Vallter area we have several possibilities for all tastes, levels and ages! Come and discover the Snowshoes at Vallter 2000!

Some of you already know us, but for those of you who don't know us yet, we introduce ourselves.
We are Esteve and Raquel, two people from Osona living in La Garrotxa, between beeches, rivers of turquoise waters and volcanoes. We ended up in La Garrotxa because we liked it and today, we still like it a lot more.
Esteve, born in Vic, was taken to the mountains by his parents when he was very young. A lifelong family of hikers. Who passed his passion and admiration for the mountains.
Raquel, from Sant Martí de Centelles, was born and raised on a farm. Between animals, trees and mountains and on weekends, during farmers' time, they also made some excursions with their parents to climb some mountains in the Eastern Pyrenees.
After adolescence, the interest in mountain activities gained importance, and apart from the mountain biking and hiking that we had always practiced, little by little, we became fond of canyoning, via ferrata, rock climbing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, mountaineering, ... looking to go a little further.
Until we make our passion, our work. We both studied mountain sports technicians and here we are, forming Guies Ama Dablam.
The mountain is our life, our day to day. When we have finished working, we look for which peak we can climb or which canyon we can go down. Or if it's cold, we take off our mountain skis or ice axes.
Responsibility and Sustainability
In the mountains, no matter what the activity, we are happy. Breathe fresh air, listen to the silence, observe the immensity of the landscape... be part of the environment.
That is why we always try to instill the values of sustainability and responsibility with nature, of the importance of caring for what we have. To be respectful of the environment. In 2019 we were accredited with the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism, of which we are very proud and which gives meaning to our way of doing things.
Our specialties are canyoning, rock climbing, via ferrata, snowshoeing, hiking, orienteering. If you want to do some activity with us, contact us, we will be happy to guide you, teach you everything we know and above all, make you have a special day!
Activities throughout Catalonia, Southern France and the region of Aragon, among others, but where do most of them is the area of the Garrotxa, Ripollès, Osona, Southern France and Eastern Pyrenees.
The age to participate is from 6 to 7 years. We have activities of different levels, to unload adrenaline to the maximum or to simply enjoy the nature spending a pleasant time. Activities for groups of friends, couples, bachelor parties, as well as for families, ideal team building activities for companies and schools activities! We adapt to each group and situation.
Thank you for your trust,
Salut i muntanya!
