There's something magical about visiting the Pyrenees on snowshoes after dark. The mountains, once immersed in darkness, take on a more mysterious aspect as you walk along them on snowshoes.

It's an incredible privilege! This is your chance to set off on snowshoes in Cauterets at night and explore the mountains in a way that few people get the chance to do!

This night-time snowshoeing adventure in the Pyrenees is an opportunity to discover new sensations - everything is multiplied tenfold! You'll have the chance to observe nocturnal animals emerging from their dens, to move about in the half-light with the moon as your only source of light (and your headlamps!), and to see the stars clearly visible in the sky!

The snow-covered valleys of the Pyrenees offer ideal powder snow for you to leave your footprints in! This snowshoeing excursion in Cauterets 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 easily be able to spot their tracks.
