Today I bring an interesting alternative to the traditional Carros de Foc route, one of the most popular routes in the Pyrenees. Although it is usually done in 5 days, I offer a shorter version for those who don’t have too much time in the area.
Visiting the key huts and enjoying the best powder runs as the normal route, we’ll make the tour in only 4 days.
With our splitboards on, we’ll travel through the Aigües Tortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. It’s a Catalan mountain area with peaks over 3000 meters in height and around 200 lakes.
The starting point of this northern Carros de Foc expedition will be Arties. From there we will visit important mountain huts such as Ventosa, Estany Llong and Saboredo.
Each day we will also have optional ascents such as Montardo (2833 m), La Creu de Colomers (2896 m) or Pic de Portarró (2736 m). These ascents imply a climb up on splitboards to then enjoy a long snowboard descent to the next mountain refuge.
So I will be waiting for your contact. Send your request to book now!
