Snowshoes on the full moon in the Estanys de la Pera

The Estanys de la Pera Refuge is  located at 2357 meters above sea level, in the Cerdanya region, an ideal area for snowshoeing.

​

We will enjoy this landscape by taking a tour of  little slope, covered  with a white carpet of snow and ice, under a magical full moonlight, that will leave you enchanted.

​

We will also learn curiosities about the flora and fauna of the environment, always with the utmost respect for nature.

​

After this route we will go to the shelter, where they will wait for us with hot drink and food to recover, and the next day  we will return to the cars.
