Activity description

Set off on an unforgettable snowshoeing adventure in the heart of the Pyrenees! There's so much to discover in the Pays Toy! This is an activity that's accessible even to beginners!


The Pays Toy includes part of Haute-Bigorre and some of the most beautiful sites in the region: the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, the Néouvielle massif, Ardiden and the great glacial cirques, particularly the Cirque de Gavarnie. The highest peaks, which can reach altitudes of over 3,000 metres, dominate this region, which boasts a host of magnificent sites perfectly suited to snowshoe trekking.

This snowshoeing hike is an opportunity to discover the superb peaks and sublime valleys. The snow-covered valleys of the Pyrenees offer ideal powder snow for you to leave your footprints in!

This excursion is a real adventure in a white paradise, where the fir trees are covered in a blanket of white and the animals live freely, so you'll be able to spot their tracks easily.

Get ready to be amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the sensations experienced as you ascend on snowshoes during these Nordic walks to the summits. A certified mountain guide will take you on a discovery tour of the Pyrenean massifs.

Beginners are welcome on this incredible adventure, off the beaten track!

Raquettes sur une neige fraîchement tombée et sous le soleil, avec passage en foret jusqu à la vue dégagée sur la vallée et les montagnes, top !
