Discover breathtaking snow-covered landscapes in the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées on a snowshoe hike in the Val d'Azun!

Starting at Aucun, just a 10-minute drive from Argelès-Gazost, a professional mountain guide will be waiting to show you around the Val d'Azun and its superb natural setting on snowshoes. In a small group of no more than 12 hikers, you will set off on a 6-hour guided excursion, using your own equipment and heading for the most beautiful sites in the Val d'Azun, between the ridges and forests between the Col du Soulor and the Col de Couraduque.

Your guided snowshoe hike in the Val d'Azun will not only allow you to experience magnificent scenery but also learn more about the area thanks to the knowledge of your mountain guide. He will even help you interpret the tracks of wild animals along the way if you are lucky enough to come across any! Finally, to replenish your strength at the halfway point, you will enjoy an open-air picnic, surrounded by the breathtaking panoramas of the Hautes-Pyrénées.

Suitable for hikers aged 8 and over, this guided snowshoe outing in the Val d'Azun is a great way to get away from it all in the mountains near Argelès-Gazost and Lourdes!
