PYRENEES WINTER WALK & SNOWSHOE

Even well established ski resorts have trouble guaranteeing good snow conditions throughout the season, but we have the great advantage that we can operate in a variety of snow conditions which skiers might find difficult. There is generally good snow cover throughout our snowshoeing season, but at times we may have days when we will be walking below the snowline. In light snow conditions you might expect to begin walking with your snowshoes strapped to your pack, then stop to put them on as we reach more consistent snow-cover. Usually April departures may be spring-like, with snow on the top, and wild flowers appearing at lower levels, although recent years have had late heavy snowfalls.

Our private lodge, La Fenière is a lovely converted stone barn situated in the Vallee du Lys, just a stone’s throw from the highest peaks that form the border. The comfortable lounge/ dining room is equipped with a wood burning stove, a well stocked bar, an iPod docking station and WIFI access. There are 5 simple twin rooms with basins. Bathroom and shower facilities are shared.

You should take waterproof walking boots or insulated boots with good ankle support. Snow shoes can be adjusted to fit any size boot, so you shouldn't have any problems.
