3 or 7 days
grade : moderate
location : Luchon valley (Central Pyrenees)
accomodation in a small hotel in Luchon
equipment provided (snowshoes, poles, kit ARVA)
The Luchon range is one of the highest in the Pyrenees with its 14 three-thousanders. This region is also formed of many lower, gentler-sloped peaks that are ideal for snowshoeing outings and that provide an outstanding view towards the main chain.
We offer two holidays in the Luchon valley of either 3 or 5 days.
Trip details :
This is 3 or 7 day centre-based holiday with outings every day with snowshoes (5 days walking for the 7 day holiday). The venues will depend on the amount of snow but here are a few examples :
a loop in the mountain forest in the Vallée d’Oueil
Espiau mountains
walk above Luchon with a view over the whole valley
etc.
Accomodation and porterage
Full board in a small familly hotel in Luchon (twin rooms). A warm welcome and great cuisine.
Porterage : just your kit for a day outing.
Grade - moderate
This holiday contains walks with climbs of up to 1000m at the most. Don’t forget that snowshoeing is much harder work than summer walking because you have to lift your feet so much higher !
