Snowshoes on your feet and headlamp: walking in the snow

Located in the heart of Cerdanya (historical Pyrenean region), close to Berguedà and Ripollès, and reachable from Barcelona in just two hours by car or alternatively by train or bus, La Molina is the oldest ski resort on the Iberian Peninsula and one of the most popular in the Catalan Pyrenees. Discovering it at night, snowshoes on your feet and with the help of a head torch, is one of the most exciting experiences you can have in winter in the province of Girona. Among the excursions, there is one that goes up to the Niu de l'Àliga refuge, accompanied by expert guides. A very interesting alternative for walking in the snow is also the area of Port del Comte, in the Solsonès region, where you can walk through black pine forests and enjoy the magnificent views of the Cadí and the Pyrenees. Rutes Sílvia Rovira, a local agency attentive to environmental sustainability issues, organises trips of various levels and duration, with snow equipment hire included.
