Description
Description
When the weather gets cold and the mountaintops of Picos de Europa receive a layer of snow, there’s only one way to hike upon them: equipped with a pair of snowshoes.
In Spanish the word “raqueta” can mean snowshoe or simply racket. This is fitting since snowshoes are essentially rackets which allow you to walk comfortably upon snowy terrain instead of sinking into it. Snowshoes are a necessary invention for people who need to get around in the snow, but hiking in snowshoes is also an exhilarating adventure sport.
We invite you to try out the sport while exploring Picos de Europa, one of Spain’s most stunning mountain ranges. Depending on the level of snow, we’ll take a route that goes around the Lakes of Covadonga or one in Andara. Either way, the beautiful wintry scenery will enchant you.
Snowshoeing is a family-friendly activity; kids and adults alike will have a blast, and you might even feel like a kid again while snowshoeing…
Book now to get fitted for some “raquetas” and discover Picos de Europa in style.
Also check out the other great excursions we offer, like this 2-day trek in the Sierra de Cuera or this half-day hike to the Lakes of Covadonga.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
