Description

The Aigüestortes National Park in Spain offers a unique terrain for backcountry skiing since a large part of it belongs to the Pyrenees. That is why this amazing area receives big amounts of high quality snow. In addition, the Aigüestortes National Park has a great network of huts in which we’ll feel like at home.

It will be an unforgettable 4 day ski tour departing from Port of La Bonaigua to Salardú, passing through the mythical peaks of Aigüestortes National Park. Finally, an exciting descent to the north of Montardo, a peak of the Central Pyrenees located in Val d’Aran which is a must for any mountain skier.

Please find more details of the day by day itinerary at the bottom of this page.

If you want to be part of such an intense ski tour in the Pyrenees, do not hesitate and book your trip now. It’ll be my great pleasure to be your guide!
